Devices don't need FSTs; devices need drivers.  File Systems need FSTs.  GS/OS
generates a driver for the ProFile that works just fine, but you have to have
both the latest ProFile card (updated in 1986 to work on the IIgs) and the
latest ProFile ROM (updated in 1986 or 1987) for it to work.  If you install
your ProFile and GS/OS seems to misbehave, go to a dealer and ask for these
two items.
