The later Magic Sac software will only work on the Magic Sac Plus. The
hardware difference is a clock circuit which was Dave's form of hardware
copy protection. Since the Magic Sac support software took a quantum leap in
compatibility after that point, your Magic Sac I is not very useful.

I have a Plus that has sat unused for a very long time ... if it comes to
that, I could be persuaded to part with mine, as well as my Translator One.
