We have TOPS here in house, and it isn't compatible with the Magic Sac. As many here on the net already surmised, TOPS talks directly with the SCC in the Mac to achieve high speed. The Atari has no comparable hardware and thus can't be connected. This is also why we've never supported Appletalk on the Magic Sac. -- Thanks, Dave Dave Small / Engineer / Data Pacific (Magic Sac folks) (and complete Net novice, but I'm trying..)
