Today, I went to a near by Apple dealer and I found something I didn't
expect. I was playing with one of the demenstration GS and I notice that it
was runing a little fast than ussual with the operating system. I knew it could
not be a TWGS because I have one. Oh well... I rebot their machine and I
press the space bar to see which version of GSOS they were using. For my
surprise, they had a GSOS version 3.02 and a most of the other inits and file
were version 3.06 or 3.02. I tough version 3.0p of GSOS was the most current
one. Is this a new version or this is really System Disk 5.02? I have a system
disk with GSOS 3.0p for a couple of months already and I always believe it was
system disk 5.02. Could anyone clear this?
Now, changing subjects. I hear some rumors that AE will introduce a Heavy
Duty Power Supply for the GS. Has anyone heard anything about this? Also, have
anyone in the Net try the new AE 3.5" drives. any comment?

[deleted stuff about new versions of gs/os] when I got the new dma scsi card, it came with a new version of gs/os. This version is numbered 3.02. This may have been what you saw at the dealer. It doesn't include any other tool changes. Just a new scsi manager, various drivers and a new gs/os. Well, thats my two cents worth. Roy rbannon@cosmos.acs.calpoly.edu

Roy, by any chance did you get any tool with a version 3.06. Do you know
what is the difference on this new GSOS version and the old one V3.0p?
Anything new that is worth to get...

I don't know for sure whats different in the new gs/os. Probably just the stuff to make it compatible with the dma card. I hope the scsi manager and/or driver no longer has the bug where if you write from three consequtive banks at once it gets confused (or something like that). I don't have the developer release notes about this yet, so I can't say for sure whats different. Maybe someone at apple can comment. Roy

What's the definitive method for determining what version of the system disk do I have? Is it the About the System dialog box in the finder? In particular how do I tell if I have system disk 5.0 or system disk 5.0.2? -Brett
