It seems that these removable drives are now my next step for mass media, now that both companies have said no to the Floptical drive group buying effort. From what a couple of the Apple II DTS people have said, the drivers support removable media even though the firmware doesn't. [From what I understand, the SCSI card itself does not report back a "hey computer, the user took out the cartridge/disk" message to the computer, but the drivers somehow get around that and do report back] I am going to write to CMS soon and see if they got theirs working with GS/OS perfectly like they said they would at AppleFest last year (from what they said, they'd've been out working fine for months now). I want to be able to copy from one cartridge to another so that I can backup from one cartridge to another and have to deal with floppies as little as possible. Even if that is not possible, I think these cartridge drives are a better idea than regular hard drives. -- No floptical drives. Both companies said no. GET A CARTRIDGE drive instead to spite them. unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu APPLE II FOREVER APL24VR GS tips? Mail me. unknown%darkside.com@ames.arpa Please use the former address for regular use.
