He has the CMS SCSI card, which allows you to chain in either direction (unlike Apple's). What I don't understand is why there is no GS/OS driver for OTHER hard drive interfaces, especially when this company sells a _large_ amount of Apple II owners their hard drives.

Be that as it may, the problem he is experiencing also shows up on my hard drive, and I did purchase GS/OS from my dealer. Using installer I have properly installed all files onto the boot partition, and still the thermometer does _not_ show up until one second before the finder pops up, leading one to believe that it doesn't run until the finder is run. Does this mean that the thermometer does not run on the System Disk until finder is run? Or is there something not kosher in the calculations because we are not using the Apple SCSI card? >> ...!crash!pnet01!pro-nsfmat!pro-pac!tomj >--David A.
