Howdy… I talked with Jim Drew last night, and this is what he had to say… 1. He thinks that my (second) Sybil is defective. It goes out today. 2. They are adding HD drive support within a few days, will allow using HD CBM drive for HD Mac format, without the need for Sybil. 3. There is a public domain floppy adapter, which they are supporting. 4. They are also supporting using the Amax cart as a floppy adapter. 5. They are no longer going to actively support using Sybil as a direct floppy I/O interface…they are going to suggest that users convert their disks to Empant format, and run from there. 6. They are not going to sell any sort of floppy adapter themselves. 7. More Mac emulations are coming, that will be 32-bit clean (ci/si). Later… Jonathan
