When I talked to one of the techs working on the wedge months ago, they told
me that they had FFS running now. I wouldn't think that the few revisions
on 1.3 have made it incompatible. So, if they had FFS working a few months
ago, I would think that it would run when 1.3 is released (god knows when.)

The WEDGE definatly works well with the Gama versions of 1.3. Speeds are excessive. Feels like a little sports car. There is no reason to think the final version of 1.3 wont work like a hot damn. Sorry I haven't been able to get my regular AMIGA feed to usenet but we just got three kids and WEDGE sales are booming no that the 500 version is shipping. This was supposed to be a slow summer but Europe and Australia have many WEDGE owners now thanks to the many dealers that are ordering the WEDGE. >From: rleyden@pnet02.cts.com (Richard Leyden) >Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga >Subject: hard disk hardware problem > > I'm have a hard disk failure which is interesting because it suggests >levels of complexity to the hard disk I hadn't appreciated before.

We have a new program called BUFF which is included in the latest Wedgesys: disk. I would advise sending us $5 and we'll send you the newest disk. You can allways call the business number (604) 278-6694 for any technical info on drives or controllers.
