- There were some bugs in the Maverick utility that are supposed to be
- fixed in version 5.04, which is available as an upgrade from SSI. A
- couple members of our user group have made GEOS boot disks with Maverick
- on the 1581 successfully, but I have not tried it. Your disk should
- definitely be GEOS format though.
