Sorry to nitpick, but I think the folks at Apple will agree that we have to get our terms right. This is GS/OS version 3.0!!!!! It is SYSTEM (disk) 5.0.

I don't know if we'll be seeing anything for Siders or not. They're DiskII devices, not SCSI. What I want to see is a CMS driver. Right now, using a generated driver, my CMS 60 is about the same speed as my 3.5 floppy! That really says a lot for apple's 1:1 floppy hack. Scott Lindsey |"Cold and misty morning.
