Help. I just bought the GCR and I can not get it to read Mac Disk. I connected the cable that comes with the GCR to the GCR and the back of my Mega. However, the connection is lose. I as using a Mac Plus Formated disk with the System Folder on it. After Spectre.prg ask for the system disk, I inserted this disk into drive A. The GCR can not read the disk. It reponses with a disk eject request. Please help Gregory gibson (213)812-4386

I believe there is a file on Genie about it, but basically you may have to shield your drive and drive cable with tin foil and wire (wheeee! High tech) to get the GCR to work right. If I ever get one, I will get a real technician to install it! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey Boyd | "Nobody can be exactly like me.
