I don't know if they still produce the beast, but they should and probably do. My manual says it requires: - Apple II+ (I have the oldest version) - DOS 3.3 (I think I've seen ads for PRODOS) - THUNDERCLOCK PLUS peripheral card - THUNDERWARE's X-10 ultrasonic interface (comes with the package) - BSR-X/10 ultrasonic command console A nice thing about the package is that it's interrupt driven, which is probably what you want. I don't recall how much she paid for it, but I don't recall thinking it was very much. By the way, the Thunderclock is what Apple suggests you use with their PRODOS anyway. Eric
