Nope, Apple really went and developed a Hypercard for the GS. It's
just like version 1.2.5 on the Mac, except it has color. It can (after
a bit of automatic translating) read Mac stacks, but it won't run
their XCMDs (for obvious reasons). It's kinda slow right now, and it's
a memory hog (it needs 1.5MB I think). Time to buy a Zip.

Just use the installer from SD 5.0.2 (now 5.0.3 folks) to install the
CD driver. Now turn off our GS and plug the CD drive into the SCSI
chain. Presto! I've done it, it works, I've even checked out the
latest Developer CD ROM (26MB of Apple // and GS stuff!).
