- Not currently. Remember the Spectre GCR emulates a Mac Plus. Rumor is that

- Yes. You just have to set up separate partitions for Atari and Mac use.

- I'll leave this to others who may have a TT and GCR. But one problem you
- may first encounter is the inability of the TT's internal drive to read/write
- in Mac 800K format (the GCR does not support 1.44Mb... yet). The easiest fix
- is to pick up an external DSDD SF314 for your floppy drive B and use it with
- your Mac floppies. That's what I did when the GCR wouldn't work with my
- MSTE's internal floppy.
