Speaking of which, despite all the time I've spent on USENET and the amount of time I've had my //GS, I've never actually had to use XMODEM protocol or whatever. I've finally discovered .apple2 and I've been wanting to download a bunch of stuff, but FOR THE LIFE OF ME I CAN'T GET THE UNIX xmodem programs to talk to either ZLink (which I just downloaded today) or Mousetalk. I have a quick-and-dirty unix script to cat me chunks of the Binscii'd files and its works, but I'd really like to use XMODEM or KERMIT or something. Do you know how long it takes to do this stuff with a capture buffer 400 lines at a time? Do you? All I want is to make that protocol stuff work. I figure I'm just doing something plainly stupid and silly. So email me. Anyway, PLEASE help me, someone, anyone. Peace.

... which of course everyone did. I'd thank all of you individually, but
it would take days. So you know who you are: Thank you very much.
I think I know what the problem is, so I'll try to fix it and I'll let you
know what happens (maybe this should be added to FAQ?).
Now, if only someone could recommend a good, cheap hardrive of the //gs
and a nice development platform....
Peace.

Well, probably the best kind of cheap hard drive that you'll find is one that you "roll your own"... In other words, shop around for a case and power supply (I got one that had three 1/2 height bays and a real good power supply for about $80 -- an exceptional price at that, but there were maybe 10 left at the time and out of production), get yourself a SCSI card (if you're at a university with one o' those Apple (read as: Mac) discounts, try to haggle your local rep down from the $129 that Apple (Mac) lists it for), cables, and a bare SCSI hard drive (I got an 80 meg 5.25" 1/2 height for about $380) Jake -- [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]---------------------------------------------+ [] Jacob S.

I, myself, wouldn't go for just the "cheap" HD, quality pays a big
factor in how you should route your purchase. I find Jasmine drives to be
reliable, and cost effective, especially when coupled with an Apple HSS card.
Of course, if that's not fast enough you can use a RamFast.
