IIRC, there was an external version of the Mockinboard for the //c, it connected to the serial port(?), maybe.

I have always been interested in adding stereo capability to my IIgs, but I'd definitely hold out getting such a device if I knew a card capable of MP3 playback was on the way. On a sound card note, do you know if there will be a clone available of the Mockingboard revision that worked on a //c? I'd be interested in getting something like that for my //c+. I only ask because you mentioned Mockingboard clones will be out soon. Though I acknowledge this is a remote possibility. :) > : Really?

Good Luck. > Well, it's true that ProDOS 8 programs won't run from an HFS partition. You simply get an error message instructing you to move the program to a ProDOS partition to run if you try to launch one from the Finder. It won't crash your system or anything. But I've found most of the ProDOS 8 programs that won't run from HFS won't run from a hard drive to begin with anyway, HFS or not. ProDOS 16 / GS/OS programs run flawlessly. As for breakdown, I haven't had any yet. But I'm curious about this. Does anyone have more information on this? What kind of breakdown? And what initiates it?
