  Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Thankyou Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  System 6.0.2 works on a 512Ke with a Dove 2 meg upgrade.  For those of you
that missed my previous postings the serial Driver's in System 6.0 died a
quick death on a 512Ke.  I posted my displeasure and someone from Apple
quickly replyed that system 6.0 wouldn't work on a 512Ke even if it had
enough memory.  The response was quick, polite, informative, but dissapointing.

  However the *VERY NICE* apple employee who responded said he'd mention my
problem to the appropriate people.  Well apparently the "appropriate people"
listened, and very quietly fixed the problem in 6.0.2.  And I'm am now one
very Happy apple owner.  They even fixed it so that the sound CDEV doesn't work
on a 512Ke, that means that someone made a concerted effort to make system
6.0.2 work on a 512Ke that has enough memory.

  Thankyou Apple, was this "fix" on purpose, or were the problems from 6.0
causing all the problems on a 512Ke just because 6.0 was buggy??

  Thanks again.
