VAPOR-WARE LEAK


We have shipped the first two beta boards of our new project to the US
testers. We are pleased to announce that the purpose of our new product is
to allow the Apple II comunity to utilize the inexpensive disk drives
available to the IBM compatible user.

  Specifically, this card is intended to allow standard MFM floppy disk
drives to be used by the Apple IIgs _and_ IIe, directly by the Apple
operating systems (ProDOS and GS/OS) for storage of all Apple II compatible
programs and data.

  We have completed both the hardware and software allowing use of  Double
Density, High Density and Extra Density floppy disks in a _variety_ of
capacities, and are continuing work on the software utilites that will be
shipped with the card. In addition, software for using inexpensive MS-DOS
style floppy streamers is planned but not complete.

When the first beta tests are finished, we will come up with specs and
information about availability.
