Tried it yet? Summary: works OK (with V3R2 software) I downloaded the Finder 6.0/System 4.2 upgrade materials from Cash-We-Serve :-) and updated my 20meg internal Hyperdrive. So far, so good. (Configuration: 1 meg MacPlus, 20Meg interal Hyper). I have followed the suggestion of turning off the RAM caches from the Manager. I'm also running with Software Supply's Suitcase and Pyro! INITs. They seem to work relatively well, as long as I remember to hold down the OPTION key while selecting 'Suitcase' from the Apple menu (and continue to hold it down while selecting my desk accessory). I, of course, agree with all the previous comments trashing GCC for their "support" (if you can call it that) of their Hyperdrive. Talk about giving the customer the shaft after laying out serious change for a product -- they make (stereotypical) used-car salesmen look positively charming and helpful. As soon as I can cough up the money for a new memory board, the Hyperdrive is history. Perhaps we should organize a boycott of GCC's Personal Laser Printer, in response to their support of Hyperdrives? (no smiley here, folks!) -- Mike Simpson Teknowledge, Inc.
