Quite a dilemma, or should I say a trilemma? :) Three nice cards that don't
work together in one computer at the same time. I had my Second Sight Card
installed, but was able to buy a RFast for about $140 with 3.00h roms. I
wanted the SS card, but really liked the speed of the RF! So I choose to
upgrade SS roms and still haven't got them :) Anyway, I don't miss the SS
card right now, but would very much like to have it 'online' again.

One thing I don't like about the SS card: da darn character set!!!!
Can't it be changed?? Can Apple have a copyright on the characterset that is
in the GS rom??? Gee, go calling a FutureVision or GBBS Pro or maybe a Proline
baord that has some Proterm Special Emulation files (ie. mousetext). You've
never seen such weird stuff when using the SS character set. I hated to see it
that one week I had my SS working, and my BBS online.
