- I believe that some people have been able to get it to work and others
- have not. I hope everyone who has tried will report their results,
- since we're trying hard to pin down the reason why some people can use
- Mac formatted media without problems while others get all sorts of
- weird results.

- One thing we know is that our current sound implementation interferes
- with the use of some peripherals on some systems. We're in the
- process of rewriting the lowest level portion of our sound driver so
- that this will not happen.
-
- We're not exactly flush with cash over here, but we may buy a zip
- drive and an EZ SCSI drive for testing purposes. Of course if it
- works here and doesn't work on other people's systems it will still be
- hard for us to figure out what the problems are.
-
- NOTE: The Linux and NEXTSTEP versions of Executor do not have all
- these problems. Once we've done them, the native Windows '95/Windows
- NT and OS/2 ports won't have this trouble either. Programming DOS is
- painful.
