: Of course you can always ask the maker of ADT to make a IIgs version. :)

what I don't understand is why when I use the same serial card on slot 2,
that it still doesn't work. shouldn't it now work? Seems kinda wierd. I gues
that I could use something like DDD to save the disk to a file, transfer it,
and then use DDD on apple2 emulator???
maybe I'll just un-retire my ][+ and use that :(
