Yep, and ProDOS 8 sees everything it's supposed to.  GS/OS is still
blind.

Tried that too, with the same results.

Yep, I get two partitions.  When I install the RamFAST driver, the
computer still hangs on boot-up (about 5 seconds into it).

Sounds great, but without access to the Bernoulli Box under GS/OS I
have no real way to get it to the Apple II from my PC (which has the
Internet access).  I've been using an HFS partition to copy between
the two machines.

Thanks!
