First question is:  Has anyone given a thought to Applied Ingenuity's
newest ad in the latest issue of A+/InCider.  In my opinion, it's
a childish cheap shot at Applied Engineering.  I have no interest in
AE other than the fact that they're one of the biggest forces for
innovation in Apple II-dom, but I'm somewhat annoyed that AI decided
to produce this ad.  For those who haven't seen it, it ridicules AE
for producing an internal hard drive (ie Vulcan) which AI seems to
claim an exclusive market to.  Even if I were in the market for that
product, I'd have to think twice about that company's attitude.
 
Question #2: goes out to people who have had problems with the AE
PCTransporter (myself included) and GS/OS 2.0 (on SD 4.0).  Since
AE is now in the hard disk market, does anyone know if they've solved
their polling problems under SD 5.0?  For the 3.5 as well as the 5.25?
It's bad enough that it constantly polls the 3.5, but I can't even use
it for 2:1 interleave disks currently.
 
And now on a different topic, did anyone write an AppleFest report this
time around?  I'd love to see a copy even two months later...

     Just got the new Tech Notes today and hope to have them out
     sometime later in the day.

    Ann Arbor, Michigan                        what GS owners could do.
