I am running Executor/linux with an IDE-CDROM, and it recognizes
MAC-CDROMS without problems. My problem is that it doesn't recognize
mixed DOS/MAC-CDRoms. I can mount the DOS-Part into the Linux-filesystem,
but I can't find any of the MAC-specific files.

They _will_ if the cache is flushed after the code is modified; in fact,
that's how Executor detects self-modifying code. Whenever the cache is
flushed, it checks to see if any of the compiled code was modified, and
recompiles it if it has.

At least, that's my understanding of how Executor works.

It was also mentioned on Dave & Mike's Computer Show (formerly DTV)
here in western Canada.  gotta love that free publicity :)

BTW, you can watch Dav & Mike over the internet.  Download the

Compaq and 3M is releasing a drive that could read and write 120MB =
disks, 1.44Mb disks, and 720K disks. They said that they will try to =
release a drive that could write and read 800K mac disks. If such a =
drive is available, will executor be able to read 800K disks?

Thanks.

Entry level meaning Pentium 75?  Any 68k Mac including the 840AV (40
mhz '040)?  Executor is pretty fast, but it's not this fast.

       Hi, where did you learn about this?  Did Compaq or 3M has press
release on the drive?  Thanks!
