     I am in the unfortunate situation of the mac world passing me by...
Several years ago, I purchased one of the original hard disks for the
Mac, a 10MB Tecmar Macdrive (non-SCSI).  It has been loyal and dependable,
but bombs on the latest version of Finder/System.  Since Tecmar is now
defunct, I have a few questions for the net:

  1) Does anyone have a patch to allow the new Finder/System to work?
  2) Are owners of a Macdrive doomed to extinction and better off
     dumping the drive and getting a SCSI drive?
  3) I read a long time ago on the net that someone thought that the
     Macdrive contained SCSI internally and was attempting to make it
     Apple SCSI compatible.  Any success?
  4) Any other Tecmar owners interested in forming an orphaned disk
     group to help each other out?

Thanks.
