I am interested in knowing whether input buffering from a Super Serial Card can
be accomplished while writing to the Sider hard disk -- using interupts.  Input
buffering would be extremely useful for capturing ALL input from a remote
system if it ignored pacing.  Perhaps the Sider, unlike regular floppy drives,
has enough "smarts" to accomplish this?  (Under ProDOS.)

Also, what is the upgrade policy for ProDOS system disks?

[I will summarize, particularly on the first question, if there's enough
interest.]
