Now that I've finally convinced my school that there is more than enough
interest in the GSs to upgrade, they've gone ahead and done it. Unfortunately
we now have 5 Rom01s with fully populated Apple boards. Not what I wanted.
What I want to know is: Is there a "piggyback" style board that will put
2 of these together rather cheaply (they're REAL SOUR at Apple now...
I guess they just lost another customer...)? I don't mean a third party
memory board and 1 Apple board. I want to stick 2 apple boards together.
I can use this on our appletalk to print to the laser, and I can only
load 2 fonts and 1 AWGS module in 1.25 Meg, which is really annoying.
But they may buy a pigyback just to see if it works. Any names and
ADDRESSES? (& prices too, if you know! :-)

My other question is until I can talk them into letting me use the
fileshare from the Macs (lack of disk space) I'm forced to use an
unlimited # of 3.5s. Are there any patched drivers that will recognize
a third or more 3.5 in GSOS? I tried them all in line, but it only
saw the first 2. It would help if I could have fonts & das in one
(using a font/da loader) the system in another, and my program in a
third. A RAM disk is out because of the above mem limitations.

Thanks lots in advance. I'm really itching to put the GS to the
"power to be my best..." :-)
