Well, on the //e you can acheive .5 megs/sec.. With a correct interleave, it'll probably be VERY fast. >can it be a single partition,reguardless of size. No you can have multiple partitions of 32 megabytes each. >cad it use DOS 3.3 or UniDOS 3.3. It doesn't use "real" DOS 3.3 but there is a program called DOS MASTER that will put pseudo-dos 3.3 volumes on a hard drive. They are really contained within files on the PRoDOS volume I believe. I call it "pseudo," because it truly is not really DOS 3.3, but it seems most old file games work on a DOS 3.3 I have on 3.5" drives, and I've heard that Dos Master behaves well too. >can i create 5.25' allocations and copy protected software to them. Nope. That's not possible. >is it as useful as having a HD on a mac. OF COURSE it is as useful! -- /unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever! ULTIMA VI GS -mail me.
