The following is a tech support note from the Connectix Corporation.
RAM DOUBLER AND MAC OS 8
------------------------
Concurrent with the development and release of Mac OS 8, Connectix has been made aware of an incompatibility when mounting floppy disks on some PowerPC based systems running RAM Doubler 2.0.x.
A free maintenance release for RAM Doubler 2.0.x is currently under development to address this issue. As a member of this mailing list, you will be notified of the availability of this release via e-mail. All users can learn more as the details are posted on the Connectix Web site (
http://www.connectix.com).
SPEED DOUBLER AND MAC OS 8
--------------------------
Speed Doubler 1.x and 2.x are incompatible with Apple's newly released Mac OS 8. Connectix is working on a new addition to the Speed Doubler product line, to be named Speed Doubler 8.
Speed Doubler 8 will be compatible with Mac OS 7.5.5 and later, including Mac OS 8 (some new features will require OS 8). Owners of previous versions of Speed Doubler (1.x or 2.x) will be offered a rebate towards the purchase price of Speed Doubler 8, which will be available later this summer. Full details, including a description of Speed Doubler 8's new features and pricing, will be announced at Macworld Boston Expo in August.
