Yeah, I've got the GSX running fine, just gotta make sure that both the plug and the socket are pushed down real hard first. No problems after that. Everything seems to be running fine.. Notice one weird thing...made some 3.5s with everything set to fast (CPS follow off, etc). Could be read fine in my drive even with everything set to slow (CPS follow on) and the ZIP set to off, but couln't be read on someone's UniDISK 3.5 on a stock GS. Made the disks later with everything set slow on my machine and they could be read fine...I know the docs say that floppies won't work if CPS follow is off, but this is just weird... May have just been a fluke magnetic field in transportation... On the other system, the disks acted just like my ZIP GS disk did when it arrived...about 1/4 of the blocks (randomly) were bad (ZIP says tha about 50 bad disks went out...wonder if they were playing around with the setting on a GSX like I did...probably not). Anyway, enough babble. Brendan G. Hoar bh1e+@andrew.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon, Inc.
