The WEDGE definatly works well with the Gama versions of 1.3. Speeds are
excessive. Feels like a little sports car. There is no reason to think the
final version of 1.3 wont work like a hot damn.

Sorry I haven't been able to get my regular AMIGA feed to usenet but we
just got three kids and WEDGE sales are booming no that the 500 version is
shipping. This was supposed to be a slow summer but Europe and Australia
have many WEDGE owners now thanks to the many dealers that are ordering the
WEDGE.

We have a new program called BUFF which is included in the latest Wedgesys:
disk. I would advise sending us $5 and we'll send you the newest disk. You
can allways call the business number (604) 278-6694 for any technical info
on drives or controllers.

(hoping this is not too commercial)
