Hi: I just got a letter from Jasmine the other day, describing their 'DriveWare' program. Is tells of features like: Increased disk speed (1:1 interleave for the MacPlus) Multiple OS on dingle disk (AUX on a partition) and some other interesting stuff all for $19.95. Questions: Now, has anyone gotten a copy? Is it worth it? Does it work with non-Jasmine disks. Are they including a new Jasmine disk driver to get down to 1:1 for the Plus or what. gray gray@med.pitt.edu p.s. Has anyone done a command-click on Word 4.0's icon inside its info box yet? I haven't seen it mentioned on the net yet...

I haven't seen it mentioned on the net yet... Well, Jasmine's posted their DriveWare version 1.40--the version you mention--on CompuServe. I downloaded it, and have installed it. I can't tell a bit of difference in speed on my Plus. It's not very obvious if there _is_ a speed increase. (What I can't really understand is, why are they charging $20 for it if they're also giving it away free? $5-$7.50, maybe, for shipping and handling, I could see.) I have noticed some strange behavior in the Finder lately, relating to inserting and ejecting floppies--suddenly, the Finder is having trouble closing files on floppies. It's not too pervasive, though, so I'm not worried (yet). Yes, I've com-clicked on Word's icon inside its info box. Cute show. Wish they'd have given their last names, though. :-) --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG
