A member of our Atari club has bought a Magic Sac: so far so good.
However, he has three problems, for which someone might have an answer.

Firstly, we have the German Atari, with a key between the left shift
key and the Y/Z (Z in the US, Y here), plus a key to the right of the
return key. He has tried all sorts of tests with localisers, but always
finishes up with either no reaction to the first of these, or the whole
bottom line shifted by one: similar problems for the other odd key.
Has anyone (in Germany?) got an answer?
Secondly, we have standardised on Mac Plus, rather than thin or fat
Macs. Therefore, it is not easy to see how to verify that any program
will work in a thin/fat environment (and hence perhaps Magic Sac)
before transferring it. (He has gone back to Finder 4.1)
Thirdly, most of us have Epsons or clones on our STs. I presume that
this should be done by having an Epson printer driver put into the
Mac software before transferring, but all our Macs have Imagewriters.

Wir wunschen beaucoup help. Dankie!
