- RomDrives, Rom Cards. The readers from .de on
- this group will be familiar with the "CT" rom
- drives, Gee Bob I still have a few here. It is
- a ROM (27256 or the likes ie 512) card with
- programs on it that boots before the hard disk.
- But hey you know this already! The CD cards and
- Omti cards are from "CT" as kitsets as well and
- work very well. It is in effect an IBM 50way slot.
- That is right just plug the IBM cards in Bob!

- Bob give ME and the reST of us a break. Just because you have not seen
- product do not throw it back in our face. Remember you are in the USA
- a place that has access to MORE Atari product/3rd Party product than
- those of us in New Zealand, but here we are with us at the end of the
- world knowing and using stuff you have not even seen. This to me is a
- little confusing to say the leaste. In fact it reminds me of the old
- "silver platter" saying.
