Servus Louis,
Well, I haven't programmed on one, but I have
worked with
them a fair amount, and don't entirely disagree with you.
I think the hardware is in general poorly designed, and the
SOS operating system is one of the worst ever. It is the
only one I know that doesn't let you change the current
drive, and requires a "loader program" in Drive 1 to run
programs on any other drive. Someone said in response to
your remarks they booted theirs from a ProFile; in
actuality, that is not possible, you have to boot from
Drive 1.
I hope nobody will ever tell this to my A///,
he may stop to boot from the profile drive.
Could it be that there are different versions around ?
Gruss
H.
