No error message at startup, with or without drivers. pr#7 do ether nothing
or bring monitor -that is not a good thing, i think. But the reference
written on the back of the card say: 607-0291-C, the C may be for Rev C.
One difficulty is that the disk haven't any function LED, and make no noise,
even when in use on the Mac. So it's difficult to see if the GS try to
access it.

GS/OS, some old // prog as AW, and games for //GS. I will try tonight the
partition you suggest.

One question: my //GS come with only one disk (but 6 disk drive), a
Appleworks GS 1.1 French original disk, that don't work at all (bad blocks).
So with the help of a PC, a mac 6400 and a SE/30 with a 800k drive, i was
able to recreate system and softs disk. But i canot find AWGS on internet.
Is there a reason (not on public domain, i think)? Is there another good
word processor for GS ?

Thanks
