First Class Peripherals [makers of Sider drives] was at AppleFest, and I believethey had GS/OS running on some of their demo computers...I'm not 100% positive, but I seem to remember that practically every hard drive manufacturer at the
show was running GS/OS to prove that it ran on their drives..

On a side note, 1st Class Peripherals had a quite successful gimmick of giving
away cider with their Siders....Actually they were just giving away small
bottles of Martinelli's Sparkling Cider to anyone that entered their contest...
[We won't mention the fact that some IDIOTS STOLE WHOLE CASES of them!]
