I would like to hear from poeple using Dave Lyons' GS/OS driver. If you are using it please let me know how it is working for you. A brief description of your system would be nice too.

I mainly use GS/OS to launch applications/Games rather than via Prodos. The driver has been 100% reliable so far :smile:

Here is my spec:-

ROM3 GS
4MB GS-RAM Card
CCFA - 64MB Sandisk
Vulcan 40
ZIP 10/64

I havent had any problems w/ GS/OS driver or the card. Only thing is I cannot format HFS for some reason.. It crashes the system, and i have to reboot. So I diasbled it and use all 8 partitions. Not sure if i has trouble w/ the size of the drive.. I use ;

Apple //gs ROM1
ZipGS 8MHz
7Meg GSRAM
Seagate 1.2G IDE
(1) A.E. 1.6M HD floppy
(1) A.E. 800K Floppy
(1) Apple 5.25 floppy
(1) SSC for extra modem

No problems here either! Works fantastic!!!

IIGS Rom 1
Tested with system 5 (I believe a version older than 5.04) and am now using 6.01
1.25 megs of ram (soon to be four)
48 meg Sandisk CF card
No other add-in cards present.

I was a hardcore, diehard IIGS user for a good deal of time, but since I was only 13 years old when I bought my GS I couldn't afford a hard disk. A few months after I hooked up my 386-25 back in 1990, my IIGS went into the garage storage. Now it has a proud place on my basement workbench :smile:. Nearly ten years in cold storage left it no worse for wear.

I'm now in the process of archiving nearly ten years worth of my Apple II and IIGS software and data. I'll be archiving on both the CFFA and converting the disks to disk image format for the KEGS32 emulator.

See my post in the technical forum about my issue with the GSOS driver...
