- Sytron sells the package either direct to customers with all drivers

- $79.00.
-
- So, CMS is making $20 a copy while IBM is making $37.00 a copy.
-
- If you want all of the drivers, call Sytron. I don't know what
- Sytron's policy is with regards to upgrades for other drivers
- if you change backup devices.
-
- Also, a beware. I have a PS/2 55sx. And so far, I have been unable
- to get the MC drivers to recognize floppy based CMS Jumbo 250. I am
- the first MC customer and so CMS is looking into it.
-
- Sytron has told CMS that the new drivers will NOT work with the model 57.
- I hope they can get it too work with the 55sx.
