First [stuff deleted 'bout sounds; the reason the sounds are played at a faster rate on the ST is because the monitor's refresh rate is faster.. not sure if there really is a way to get sounds to come out correctly] > My final question is in regard to hard drive backups. Is there a >program similar to Turtle for the Mac that will work with Spectre GCR? [...] Well... there is a commercial product called DiskFit that I hear is really good. I don't have it, nor have I ever used it (there was supposed to be a shareware version of it, but its origins were flaky so I deleted it Just In Case). I've been scanning (sorta) the Mac anonymous ftp sites, and have found a few pd/shareware backup programs, but none seem to fit the bill (they either take 2 hours for 20 megabytes (YUCK!) or don't quite know how to get the total files on disk.. maybe they don't like HFS, I dunno). > >Larry Rymal: |East Texas Atari 68NNNers| Mike (matthews@umd5.umd.edu)
