Lots of questions



Question #1:
I just downloaded Zlink from BROWVM and was wondering if this file is
corrupted.  I downloaded it twice, unpacked it a couple of times with
Binscii and shrinkit and once with GSHK which did not show any errors.
I tried launching the program (z.link.system) from the finder, the basic
system, prodos 8 using the pathname, and using it as the start file on a
disk.  Each time I got just a plain screen, not the title described in the
documentation.  Suggestions?
Question #2:
I am planning to buy a hard drive in about a month and am looking for a few
suggestions.  I have a Woz ROM 01 GS and am thinking about getting a 100+MB
hard drive with a RAMfast card.  I was looking through the recent MacWorld
and found a Quantum 110MB ELS for about $340 and a Maxtor 120MB for $400 both
external anyone have any experience using these drives and what conversion
is necessary to convert these drives from Mac to IIGS?
Question #3:
What is the difference between the Ramfast rev. C and rev. D cards?  I saw a
post last spring about a company selling rev. C cards for about $99.  Someone
also mentioned refurbished Ramfast cards, are these any good and where can I
find one if they are?
Question #4:
When I am done modifying my IIGS I plan to have a Prometheus Promodem 2400a
internal modem, Zip accelarator, Ramfast, PC Transporter, sound card, and
SIMM memory expansion card in place.  Will I need a heavy duty power supply
Someone mentioned external drives taking life of the internal power supply of
the IIGS, has anyone noticed this problem?
Lastly, I would like to thank anyone answering any of these questions and all
of those using and programming IIs.  I have used Macs and PCs and neither
system compares to the IIGS except speedwise, I love this computer.  Thanks.
