I've been away for a few weeks, so this is my first chance to respond to all
this....

I run Spectre GCR 3.0 on a TT with TOS 3.05.

The 3.0 manual states that it works on a high-rez _Atari_ monitor, but I've
never seen it done.

Spectre does not recognize the internal or external SCSI port on the TT.
This is stated somewhere in a manual or in one of the README files.  I
have my internal hard drive hooked up to the external ASCI port using an
ICD Mico host adapter, with the ribbon cable running through the case (I'm
sure I'm violating all kinds of FCC rules--my TV goes nuts whenever my hard
drive is accessed).  I got the connections from the ribbon cable to the D-
connector from ICD.  I generally have no problems with the setup, and I'm
using the disk for both Atari and Mac files.

I can read/write 800K Mac disks just fine.  But in order to do this I have
to have a floppy in the drive when I turn the computer on, then remove it
before launching Spectre.  Otherwise it eats floppies for breakfast.  And
light-off programs won't work.  I can format/read/write on either Spectre
or a real Mac, though formats on real Macs tend to be somewhat more reliable.

I use the Transverter program that came with Spectre to move file Atari<-->
Mac all the time, with either floppy or hard drive.  The only thing is that
the Mac disk/partition must be in MHF (or whatever--the older one) format.

I hope this helps.
