TT's just aren't here (US) yet. > - Does it really work ?? How? ... any problems with mac software/peripherals In the Gadget's newsletter, Dave claims it works just great on the TT. As for version 3 of the software, it works wonderfully!! All the major programs work without a hitch. > - what kind of a floppy drive format does 3.0 use... Standard Mac 800K (HFS) and 400K (MFS) disks. However, Gadget's have gotten the Mac to think it has one of the new SWIM disk controller chips in it. On the Mac, it allows you to use 1.44 floppys and read Ms-dos disks. So this means that you can easily copy files from ST to Mac with programs such as Apple File Exchange or DosMounter. > - how about TT's hard disk (scsi) does it work on TT&dma hard disk ?? Not quite sure what you're asking here... > - what about my old st1040f with tos 1.1 or 1.2 or something like that ??? Yup, works fine. Although I'd recommend you get at least 2 megs of software and a hard drive to do anything decent. > - can it (gcr) use the mac type lan in TT ??? The next update of the software will work with the LocalTalk TT port. > is it worth buying ?? Oh YEAH! Works great, great support and....it's worth the money. If you have anymore questions, just ask!
