I think I have that last version, I have a Unidisk 3.5 which boots on PR#5
or after startup scanning an empty SLOT6 drive 1 then goes to the 3.5 drive.
Typing PR#7 on mine does jack. and I have 1MB internal, but I don't know
what slot, I assumed slot 2 drive 2 or something, I'll have to check. No
idea where the mouse is, unfortunately it doesn't work. (please don't tell
me it's the mouse, I've been there already !), Or is it that MousePaint only
works with a mouse in slot 4 ??? hmmm... what else have I got that uses the
mouse, back later...
