	I have one in my //c and have had no problems at all with it.
I only have the built-in drive, so I can't comment on how it works with
external drives and the Unidisk.

	The only program I have seen to date that was for the 65802
but was not GS specific, is Apple.Rx, a Virus Finder from Glen Bredon.
I'm sure there will be more in the future as dropping a 65802 in your
older Apple is the, perhaps the easiest upgrade you can make.
