Well it is finally out (only been waiting one year). Apple has just released two versions of the IIGS System Disk. Version 2.0, Which contains ProDOS 16 V1.2 and ProDOS 8 V1.4 and Version 3.1, which contains ProDOS 16 V1.3, the IIGS Finder V1.0, and several icon, etc. files. Here's the catch and the reason for two system disks - better have at least 512K to hope to run this version of the Finder. Hopefully your dealer will have receive both disks by now - or sometime this week. The Finder is painfully slow, and does leave a bit to be desired (hate having to do things differently between the Mac Finder and the GS Finder (i.e. Rename)), but I shouldn't complain. It is out and hopefully ProDOS 16 V2.0 will follow before the year is out. Mark

System Disk 3.1 was just released, but 2.0 was released back in May. Here are the release dates for some of the most recent system disks: Version 2.0 May 20, 1987 Version 2.1 July 24, 1987 Version 3.1 August 27, 1987 Version 2.1 was not a general release. I think it only went to developers. To my knowledge, Version 3.0 was never released. Instead they jumped straight to 3.1. -Paul R. Wenker -MECC
