- I have one, and it works under DOS with Executor OK - in fact, I was
- able to run some of the free software on the preformatted cartridge
- directly. The potential problem with Windows 95 is ASPI support -
- Executor needs an ASPI driver to see Mac disks in this way, and I'm not
- sure if Windows 95 has a means to provide ASPI services to a DOS program
- when 32-bit drivers are in use (this is possible under OS/2 and NT,
- though). You can, of course, load the DOS ASPI driver under Windows 95,
- but this will disable the 32-bit drivers resulting in a performance
- penalty. I don't consider myself an expert on Windows 95, though, so
- someone else may well be able to correct me on this.
