[The basenote asks questions about SoundMaster with Spectre GCR].

	You'll be pleased to hear that version 2.5 (it may be 2.6 shortly)
is just passing final beta test. In it, 60 hz vblank is supported, so both
benchmark programs that use VBL, and more importantly, SOUND, which is
intrinsically tied to VBL, are dead on. No more high pitched sounds; no more
need to convert resources to get the pitch straight. Doug Wheeler did the
coding for this, and many other 2.5 fixes.

	With any luck, 2.5 will be out in less than a month. Gotta finish
off the newsletter, get disks duped, start mailing. Free to 2.3K owners.

	As for HD Backup, the only name I've heard is DiskFit. Many do not
work because we don't use Apple's SCSI dispatcher... which would be, err,
entertaining.

	-- thanks, Dave / Gadgets
