I have Music Studio 2.0, and am running it under GS/OS 5.0.  I haven't had
the problem mentioned with the program hanging.  I _have_ had another problem,
however.  Occassionally, MS gets stuck playing a note and won't stop short of
quitting the program.  Has anyone ever heard of this before and, if so,
what causes it and what is the solution?

I also just got Thexder.  I really like it but the version I have (I bought
the original + docs used, so it's an older version) can't use the joystick.
I seem to remember something about a newer version that can use the joystick.
Does anyone know anything about this?

Finally, I see that First Class Peripherals is advertising a SCSI card for
their drives that they claim "will allow your Sider to operate an incredible
Twelve [sic] (12) times faster."  This sounds too good to be true to me.
Does anyone have any experience w/ this?  I got their driver for the Sider
D4a that was supposed to double the speed of the drive, but I have seen
a much small increase, only.  Does it really work 12X faster or some
fraction thereof?  Do you think it's worth the $150 for the new card?

Thanks in advance.
