   There has been a lot of speculation here about what cards will and won't
work in the GS.  No auxiliary slot memory card for the //e will work in the
GS.  No card which uses phantom slotting will work in the GS.  Some old
coprocessor cards will fail because of the increased clock speed, but it
won't hurt anything to try one.  The Super Serial Card does work in the
GS (...but remember to set the control panel!) so much of the old
communications software, which uses the SSC ACIA directly can be made to
run.  (I have run AE Pro, for example.  AE Pro does not work through the
GS serial ports, however.)
    These problems will soon be eliminated because newer and better versions
of programs like AE Pro and Softerm ][ are already making the rounds.
    There is one other thing to keep in mind.  If you have software, under
ProDOS, which depends on a clock, ProDOS 1.1.1 won't find the GS clock.  There
are two solutions: (1) Stick your old ThunderClone in the GS; or, (2) Slip
ProDos 8 onto your disk in place of ProDos 1.1.1.
