                      RomDrives, Rom Cards. The readers from .de on
                      this group will be familiar with the "CT" rom
                      drives, Gee Bob I still have a few here. It is
                      a ROM (27256 or the likes ie 512) card with
                      programs on it that boots before the hard disk.
                      But hey you know this already!  The CD cards and
                      Omti cards are from "CT" as kitsets as well and
                      work very well. It is in effect an IBM 50way slot.
                      That is right just plug the IBM cards in Bob!

 Bob give ME and the reST of us a break. Just because you have not seen
 product do not throw it back in our face. Remember you are in the USA 
 a place that has access to MORE Atari product/3rd Party product than
 those of us in New Zealand, but here we are with us at the end of the
 world knowing and using stuff you have not even seen. This to me is a
 little confusing to say the leaste. In fact it reminds me of the old
 "silver platter" saying.
