I have to agree that two 5.25 drives is sufficient, BUT, how is DOS
superior to GS/OS? I can read DOS 3.3, ProDOS, MS-DOS, HFS on
my GS. I can write ProDOS disks up to 1.44 mb. I can write MS-DOS
1.44 disks with Peter Watson's MUG!. I can write HFS. I can read
HFS CD's. Can you? Since when is 64k of ram equivalent to 6 to 8 mb?
I can have a hard drive with 15 x 32 mb prodos partitions and an HFS
partition of up to 1.5 gb on a 2 gb drive, and with the proper controller
I can have 2 of those drives attached externally. Plus I can run most of
the software you can, and much more. Maybe I got spoiled by the GUI
revolution, but nonetheless, the GS is everything the II+ is and beyond.

I might love a II+ if I could get one, but I don't wish to pay $50+ for
one. I think $10 would be ok, but that's just me. Anyway, I don't want
anyone to think I'm against the older IIs, I just prefer more action than
they deliver.

Thanks for listening, ;-)
