I installed a LiteSound from jcm-1.com in my Apple IIGS, but had trouble testing it. Who would of guessed that GS/OS, despite looking like a doppelgänger of MacOS, can't swap floppy disks like it?
Which makes it kinda hard to run Arkanoid, in order to test my LiteSound, when I have only one FloppyEmu?... (GS/OS and Arkanoid both use 800k disks, and the only 800k compatible device I have is the one FloppyEmu.)
Then Joe said, "If I send you an A2Pico, will you install it in your IIGS?" Of course!
Will the A2Pico enable me to run Arkanoid under GS/OS? Will I be terrible at Arkanoid? Will we have time for another round of Oregon Trail? You'll have to watch to find out!
