Hi, I am currently considering adding a removable mass-storage device
to the my GS, and I am debating between the Syquest-45 removable
HD vs. the new 21 meg floptical HDs.  And I like to hear from those
of who who has experience with either or both devices.

I am leaning towards the floptical drives because of the ability to
read Mac and IBM (with the new FST with 6.01) 1.44 High density 3.5s,
and from the ads from the current MacUsers, the flopticals can be had
for around $359, which is less than the cheapest Syquests (around $399.)
The price differnce isn't really an issue, since it's only around $50.
But the storage is only 21 megs (probably less, since formatting takes
up some space, I don't know how much), as compared to the 45 meg
syquests (which is around 41-43 of usable space.)  Since I do plan on
using the removable as a backup device, as well as a primary storage
on the GS, the size of the media is an issue.

I have the Rev. C Apple SCSI card (the really slow, non DMA variety),
and the RamFAST SCSI card rev. B board, with ROM 3.00(something), I
will probably need to upgrade the roms again to work with the
flopticals.

Any comments?  Thanks in advance.  (Todd probably have a ton to say,
which I am sure he is getting tired of saying everytime someone
is considering the floptical drives :-)  Shouldn't/isn't this stuff
in the faq?)

Jimmy

 Hmmm....

  But I have one question about it ... On page 72 (take my word for it .. its
there) Apple explaines that there is an AUX connector on the back of the card
... the end closest to the front of the computer... They explain that this
connector is there so you can hook up other cards to the VOC. Cards such as
other video cards, Graphics cards, FRAME GRABBERS!!!!!
  Get what I'm hinting at????
 
 What I would like to know is if there is anyone out there who has heard of or
has on them, of who knows how to build a Frame Grabber/Video Digitizer for the
Apple VOC
 
 Any help what so ever would be a great help...

First, thanks to all that responded to my problems about my SCSI card
and computer problems and sorry to have caused the big debate over gs
rom versions.

Second,  this SCSI card is driving me crazy.  Every program I have used 
has not reported a scsi device at all.  Then last night I used a program
that checks what you have in each slot and it sees the scsi card.  
You tell me????  I have no clue any more.  I have tried the card in a
rom 01 and a rom 3 and I don't have any negative response from the computer,
but on each I still can't see the card until I use the slot program.
The card was working fine about 5 days ago until I removed it from the computer
and reinserted it.  That's when nothing happened.  Am I missing a step?
All I have been doing in usint the scsi utilities to try and partition the
drive, I have also tried to use advanced disk utilities to format the drive
but still no programs but the slot see'r can find it.  (the slot program
does tell me that there are no devices connected, which there is.).
I have tried formating the drive as a mac drive and then using system 6
to see if the drive would come up.  I have tried switching power supplies,
nothing would come up.  I have tried just about every program out there,
and with the excepting of the one, nothing would come up.  Do any
of you kind souls have any other suggestions that I might try???? 
This is driving me bonkers!

Thanks again,

And have a happy new year!!!!!

	This is accomplished through the rVersion resource (number 1).
I forget the number exactly though.

	You could add one using Foundation or Genesys, although, I

Soniqtracker doesn't always clean itself out of memory for some reason.
(although since .61 there have been fewer problems).  STr sometimes
crashes upon just trying to quit itself--let alone subsequently run
programs.   (Tim, do you hear me ringing?  )  I like STr better than
Modzap (Though the oscilliscope is way cool, Ian :) )  Ask Tim personally
if you want a more technical reason for the STr memory mis-management.

Well, I have another suggestion.  Make sure all your ADB keyboard and
mouse cables are snug and working.  I'd even replace them, if only
temporarily.

I sill can't really believe the problem isn't overheating.  There are
three things you can do to make your computer even cooler:

1)  Open up all the openings for cards in the back.

2)  Get an Apple GS fan.

3)  Leave the top off your GS.

Hope some of these suggestions work,

The lack of a search engine for CD-ROM's on the GS means that you will
simply not get any of these things for the GS. It's too bad as the GS
is a natural here. You'd really have to switch to another pltaform or 
even a game console. The GS's strong point is multimedia. This is also
the area where it is standing still. Hyperstudio is great and laser discs
will go a long ways, but the lack of CD-ROM software will very quickly 
have a serious negative impact on the platform. Even worse, should Apple 
drop the GS as an option for educational purchases then the short term 
future will be bleak indeed. I can only assume that things are wherever 
Hyperstudio and the VOC are. One can have years of useful time with the GS,
but we are probably talking about a platform frozen in time. CD-ROM
represents a very important medium. In a way, it will herald in a whole 
new generation of applications (especially for children). 
 
On option is to get a CDTV/CD-I unit and hook it up through a VOC. This will
get you the encyclopedias,etc...and much more.

Great, their stuff isn't PD is it?  Are there any other inits or cdevs that
will fix it?  I think the crashing problem is going down in frequency, but it
still happens.  I've narrowed it down to soniqTracker, whenever I launch it
and then quit and launch something else, it crashes.  Must be memory or
