Can you also make GS/OS boot disks?
I would have liked to have a spare boot disk with more than 800K on it, 
for 800K won't hold anything but the bare system itself. And that only 
if you resort to tricks like throwing away half the "TSx" files. But 
when I make a 1600K boot disk with the AE drive, the machine will not 
start up from it.
I assume that's caused by the fact that without the driver software, the 
machine thinks that it is a 800K drive. Would such a card (or any UDC 
type card) help the machine recognize a HD drive as a bootable device?

Oh, just one bit of advice you might be able to use: seventeen.
I'll be downstairs if you need me.
I'll still be downstairs if you think you don't need me.
