  Hokay folks.  I have heard enough from people that use it that I would like
some answers from _THOSE WHO KNOW_

  First, what is the user impression of GS/OS?  Is it worth driving all over
the city to find a dealer with a copy?  How 'bout the manuals for the fledgling
developer?

  Second question, can it handle the CMS SCSI card, in terms of booting from
it.  I have two 32 meg volumes set up that I am quite happy with, thank you.  I
don't need partitioning, just accessibility.

  Third, has there been any incompatibilities with Davex, my favorite command
shell (plug plug plug :-))

  And finally, how much space is this critter going to take?

On a related note, the idea of replacing the processor in the GS with AE's
accelerator seems like a sound one.  If they could pack a numeric coprocessor
into it as well as ~10Mhz, this would make the machine fly...

  BTW, I also am interested in the // technotes mentioned at the end of the
summer.  Are these going to hit netland any day soon?  (Keith?)

  Thanks in advance...
                                 Scott
