I have read the requests of information about the Happy
software which is out. I have purchased a Happy upgrade for
both the 810 and 1050 drives. The 810 comes with the version 5.3
software and the 1050 came with version 6.6. The 810 and 1050,
using these versions respec{tively, will not communicate with each
other. Also, 6.6 does not come with Multi-drive. I was quite frustrated.
I wrote a letter to both Happy and the people I bought The kits from, both
of which responded to me quite rapidly. Both did state that Happy is 
trying desparately to get the version seven updates out by the Xmas
holiday time frame. (This will please me to no end) 
The version 7 will make the 810 and 1050 talk the same language. I
use the 1050 as drive 1, as the 1050 comes up and reads/writes at a
faster rate than the 810, and is also double density. The 810
runs as drive 2.

I must say, however, that I am quite "happy" with the drives, and
consider them far advanced over a "stock" drive for their basic
read/write speed improvements alone.
