o Early reports from purchasers of the Sequential Systems Second Sight VGA card are positive. The quality of the display on an Apple RGB monitor is surprising many people who wonder how they ever managed in the past. Software needs to be written to take full advantage of the card so developers will need time to get the programmers information and become familiar with the card and its capabilities. Richard Bennett demonstrated the Second Sight VGA card at the July meeting.
o ABC direct are marketing a 1.44MB floppy drive for US$199 which can be used on an Apple II using the SuperDrive controller card. They are also bringing out their own 3.5" controller card later this year.
