What do you all think of Central Point Software's new 800K drive? Are there any incompatibility problems between this and the IIgs? Please reply via e-mail instead of the net. Thank you. -- Mike Kao UUCP: {cbosgd, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, nosc}!crash!pnet01!mkao ARPA: crash!pnet01!mkao@nosc.mil INET: mkao@pnet01.CTS.COM

It works fine but I have found some copy protected programs that won't run with it. Paintworks Plus won't work with it because of its copy protection scheme. Otherwise, it works great and lets you use both a 3.5 and a 5.25 out of one slot. With the Apple drives, you have to use both slots 5 and 6, so you sacrifice a slot. Rick Fincher ranger@ecsvax
