- Do you know why your internal drive didn't want to work with the GCR?
- Was it only with MAC/GCR disks, Spectre disks, etc? So far, Spectre 2.65
- has been working with my MegaSTe's internal HD disk, though I have only
- used Spectre format disks up to now.
-
- Oh, what's the best route for upgrading the Spectre from 2.65 to 3.0?
- I suppose I should send in my registration card, huh? :-)
-
- I am rather pleased with the speed of the Spectre while in 16mhz mode -
- things load in quite fast. Even my Megafile 30 seems to run fast under
- Spectre mode!
