   Do you know why your internal drive didn't want to work with the GCR?
Was it only with MAC/GCR disks, Spectre disks, etc?  So far, Spectre 2.65
has been working with my MegaSTe's internal HD disk, though I have only
used Spectre format disks up to now.

   Oh, what's the best route for upgrading the Spectre from 2.65 to 3.0?
I suppose I should send in my registration card, huh? :-)

   I am rather pleased with the speed of the Spectre while in 16mhz mode -
things load in quite fast.  Even my Megafile 30 seems to run fast under
Spectre mode!
