Re: ANNOUNCE - TrackSTAR PLUS write-up

["Bryan Villados" <news002@macgeek.org>]

I can almost guarantee that the config file is needed for the MCA version of
the card. From my bad experiences with microchannel machines, all the cards
I stuck into the thing needed the config file. Unfortunately, that file
isn't on my TrackSTAR diskette. :(

BTW folks, there are two TrackSTAR E cards for auction on eBay (not by
me!!!!) Coincidence? Or, did my write-up wake someone up that has these
cards in stock???? Different card from mine... It's about 20-percent shorter
than mine, and I think it's a full-on IIe card.

Thank you very much for the compliment on the site. :)
