I got a second cartrige for the 45 meg removable and confirmed that it
works just like a big floppy, ie eject a cartrige and the icon greys out,
put in a new cartrige and the new icon(s) appear on the desktop. So you can
copy one 42 meg disk to another with one drive. Afew notes:
1: The IIgs hangs if you boot without a cartrige and the power is on.
It boots OK with the power off to the 45 meg, even if the cartridge is
write protected.
2: Write protected cartridges won't mount on the desktop.
3: Going to ProDos applications and back to GS/OS causes weird problems.
The icons remain on the finder destop for the removable volumes but they are
greyed out and the cartridges won't mount.
4: GS/OS 5.0 or greater is required (ProDos 8 won't work except like a regular
SCSI drive.
5: Other than the minor glitches above, they work great! This is definately
my next purchase!
6: Cost is $749 from Ehman Engineering, 1-800-257-1666. 45 meg (42 formatted)
cartridges cost about $79 each.
