Well, I know what he's talking about...I'd like to see something like
this also.  There is DOS 3.3 Launcher which will run DOS 3.3 programs,
but it won't run software like Ultima /// or V (don't know about IV,
never bought it, but heard it was more DOS 3.3 based).  What I'd like
to see is a program running on the IIGS that would emulate a DISK ][
card and allow you to use disk images.  This would be quite nice on a
IIGS, especially not having to deal with a 5.25" drive.
