Chase Manhattan's home banking system, Spectrum, not only requires
the diskette to be in the drive, but also uses a proprietary protocol.
You can't use it on UNIX.  You can use it in an Apple II or a Commodore 64,
as well as in IBM PCs and clones.  I think it's really good, but then again,
I wrote a lot of it (my previous contract was at Chase).

I'm sure the guys working on it would love to port it to UNIX, so maybe 
if enough of you UNIX/PC owners write to them, the Chase marketing folks 
would decide to support it.

Disclaimer:
Spectrum is probably a trade- or service mark of Chase Manhattan Bank,
although it is also a car, a radar detector, a magazine, a phenomenon of
nature, etc.  I had (but no longer have) a very strong connection with
Spectrum and Chase, but I don't speak for them and never did.  I still 
have friends there, though.
