- Question #1:
- I just downloaded Zlink from BROWVM and was wondering if this file is
- corrupted. I downloaded it twice, unpacked it a couple of times with
- Binscii and shrinkit and once with GSHK which did not show any errors.
- I tried launching the program (z.link.system) from the finder, the basic
- system, prodos 8 using the pathname, and using it as the start file on a
- disk. Each time I got just a plain screen, not the title described in the
- documentation. Suggestions?
- Question #2:
- I am planning to buy a hard drive in about a month and am looking for a few
- suggestions. I have a Woz ROM 01 GS and am thinking about getting a 100+MB
- hard drive with a RAMfast card. I was looking through the recent MacWorld
- and found a Quantum 110MB ELS for about $340 and a Maxtor 120MB for $400 both
- external anyone have any experience using these drives and what conversion
- is necessary to convert these drives from Mac to IIGS?
- Question #3:
- What is the difference between the Ramfast rev. C and rev. D cards? I saw a
- post last spring about a company selling rev. C cards for about $99. Someone
- also mentioned refurbished Ramfast cards, are these any good and where can I
- find one if they are?
- Question #4:
- When I am done modifying my IIGS I plan to have a Prometheus Promodem 2400a
- internal modem, Zip accelarator, Ramfast, PC Transporter, sound card, and
- SIMM memory expansion card in place. Will I need a heavy duty power supply
- Someone mentioned external drives taking life of the internal power supply of
- the IIGS, has anyone noticed this problem?
- Lastly, I would like to thank anyone answering any of these questions and all
- of those using and programming IIs. I have used Macs and PCs and neither
- system compares to the IIGS except speedwise, I love this computer. Thanks.
