See what this is. ftp://ftp.thursby.com/macaddict/ Install_DAVE_3.1.1.img.sit Up to 2.5 (or was it 2.5.1?) did support 68k. Ran the demo on my IIsi then the IIci with the 50Mhz PowerCache. One thing to be careful with when using DAVE is storing Mac files on the PC. You definately want to keep the Mac stuff in its own space and NEVER EVER manipulate the Mac files with Windows. That's the fast road to wrecking them. Defrag and Speed Disk are OK to use on the PC drive with the Mac files but do not move or delete or rename from Windows. That will break them. It works OK for sharing cross platform files if you copy the file elsewhere, do any editing of the file on the copy, then copy/move it to another spot on the PC for the Mac to access. Then use the Mac to delete the original and replace it on the PC with the changed version. Otherwise the database, desktop and trash stuff DAVE puts on the PC drive will get a bit fouled up. I don't know about later versions of DAVE, but the ones I used didn't do things like rebuilding the desktop database on the remote PC share. I pushed over 500 megs of Mac stuff I wanted to save then left it on my PC until I had another SCSI drive to pull it back from the PC to. What would really be slick is if the host filesystem access of Basilisk II was compatable with how DAVE stores Mac stuff on a PC. It's similar and might not take a whole lot to make it work. Then should something happen where you can't access the PC over the LAN with a DAVE equipped Mac, you could just install Basilisk II and recover the Mac files. Too bad it ain't that way. :( ===== "I'm sorry, but you can't list fish as 'durable goods' in your GDP statement."
