Message-ID: <900318.18241755.003982@SFA.CP6> Date: 19 Mar 90 00:24:18 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 27 Hello all, I tried to send the following to George Woodside, but it, as you've read before, "bounced". sigh Hello George, I would bet that if you wrote a port of Turtle for the GCR and offered it for sell commerically that you'd have a winner. I have tried every commerical and shareware harddrive backup utility for the Macintosh but these just won't work on the GCR. Anyway to persuade you to convert Turtle for the Mac so that ST GCR folks would have a decent backup utility for their hard drive? Since Spectre GCR typically out performs the Mac on the hard drive, it is a shame that we don't have a good hard drive backup utility. Yes, I know that Dave's MegaMinute Elite does indeed work, but it is for image backup only and you risk losing files if you get the 'slow write' error. I WANT TURTLE GCR!!! Also, I know that it is better to back up the files using the SysQuest mechanisms and cartridges, but not all of us can afford such a wonderful setup. I just want a nice, dependable hard drive to floppy backup utility for my GCR that WORKS! I WANT TURTLE GCR!!! It would be sooo nice. I read on the Mac net that DiskFit was tried but would not work. So, George, among all your other projects, could you possibly consider porting Turtle to the GCR?????? Larry Rymal: |East Texas Atari 68NNNers|
