  I just bought a IIfx with a 8*24GC card and then purchased MacroMind
Director only to find out that the current version (I believe it is
version 2.0.2) is not compatible with the GC card. I called MacroMind
and they said that version 3.0 will support the GC card. They expect to
release 3.0, "sometime in the middle of the summer."
