Great! Would someone be kind enough to do a review for the net? I have
some basic questions:
	What does $79.95 buy you?
	Is it useable on a 520 (.5 Meg with single sided floppy)?
	Does it support hard disks (and if so with any restrictions)?
	Does the compiler support 32 bit pointers; 32 bit integers?
	What are differences between the ST version and the PC version?
	How long does it take to rebuild the system (please mention the
		configuration used).
	How robust is it?

Thanks in advance for any info.
