Hi Tandy,
In your last message to Maggie, you said, "that the arkenstone, won't
work with a packerd bell, because of it's bios incompatibility, and the
packerd bell had a lot of software and hardware problems because of
incompatibility," well, I've been using a Packerd Bell Xt clone, which
came with a 5.25 floppy, a 20-mb hard drive, a monochrome monitor, and
I'm also using a Symphonics synathesizer, and I'm using Artic Vision and
Business Vision; and I've never had any incompatibility problems. And
when I recently had a 3.5 floppy, and a 80-mb hard drive installed, that
didn't cause any problems. So I wish you'd think before you speak.
Bye for now. Skip
There's no future in time travel.

Skip,
Tandy does think before he speaks. At least this time he did. He's
was talking about software and compatibility with other kinds of hardware.
Your examples are not really significant when determining compatibility.
The Sonix one is the only one that even should be considered at all.
