Re: IIgs Startup Disk

[cturley2@aol.com (Cturley2)]

The GS WorldView November Issue has a unique IIgs Stsrtup disk you can download
that requires no more than 1MB of RAM at the max to boot and
run several functional needs.

The Ref. URL for that follows:

http://www.grin.net/~cturley/gsezine/GS.WorldView/Nov99/Sound.and.Music/

Inside that above folder you'll find the ShrinkIt disk archive named:

TurboGS.601.SDK

The TurboGS 601 boot disk can be unshrink with any ShrinkIt utility to an 800k
ProDOS
self-booting disk that will allow the following user functions;
shrink-unshrink, read text and/or teach files, display SHR, DHR or SHR graphic
files and also other graphics formats, launch any P8, P16 or GS/OS application,
very user friendly too - plus you can use the OverSampler application on this
boot disk to play any sort of properly converted music and sound file,
presented for such use - with very limited RAM, such as; converted MP3, Audio
CD tracks, QT Movie Audio WAV files, raw binary digitized sound and/or music
files, etc.

Of course you'd need the proper media storage device like a hard drive, Zip
drive, etc. to 
store such LARGE converted audio files on - to play them with the OverSampler
program.

Download it and give it a try.  I'm sure you'll like the quick boot and design
of this TurboGS boot disk and the freeware programs on it for the needs of the
IIgs users.

Cheers,
Tom
