Wrong again.!
Let me quote one of the ads on MacWeek Vol 3 No.4 24 January 1989 p.37: 
	"We nclude a rugged Condura (TM) CARRYING CASE, our SILVERLINING
	 high performance hard disk utility and SILVERSERVER software for local
	 and  remote hard disk sharing.
	 We'll also throw in SILVERPLATTER so you can share most serial
	 devices on your LocalTalk Network. In all a $185 value-FREE."

So you see when you buy the Cirrus drive, you will get 4 things FREE:
1. Carrying case.
2. SilverLining - hard disk utilities.
   ( I agree.. this is the best hard disk utility ever made. !)
3. SilverServer - this allows hard disks to be shared across a
   network. 
4. SilverPlatter - this allows most serial devices on your LotalTalk
   network.

I only received 1,2 and 3 and It has been more then 2 months since
Cirrus promises to deliver the Silver Platter.
Surprisingly, not many know that they should get 4 free goodies when
they buy they drive. In other words, not many know what they should be
getting and the Cirrus ltd. should be very happy about it.

I wonder if the publisher of the Mac magazines ever wonder if the
advertiser ever fulfill what they promise in their magazines.
