Remember the Spectre GCR emulates a Mac Plus. Rumor is that Dave Small will incorporate support for TT's with large screens in the next release, which is long overdue, BTW. Even so, with the TT you'll have one speedy Mac Plus! >2. Is the internal SCSI disk accesssible by the Mac? Yes. You just have to set up separate partitions for Atari and Mac use. >3. Does anybody have a similar configuration who can report me about his or > her experience and problems? I'll leave this to others who may have a TT and GCR. But one problem you may first encounter is the inability of the TT's internal drive to read/write in Mac 800K format (the GCR does not support 1.44Mb... yet). The easiest fix is to pick up an external DSDD SF314 for your floppy drive B and use it with your Mac floppies. That's what I did when the GCR wouldn't work with my MSTE's internal floppy. --- ___________________________ John "HUTCH" Hutchinson _________________________ _________________ Fair Dinkum Technologies Member - IAAD _______________ ________________ "No worries, mate... it's from Fair Dinkum!" _______________ ____________ email: hutch@bellman.lanl.gov GEnie: FAIR-DINKUM _____________
