I may give that a try if I can't get it working under contemporary software. I have not created any NitrOS9 disks yet, and my first preference is to use original OS9 software on the system.

Thanks! Good to know!

I found an Owl-Ware ad on page 14 of the August, 1986 Rainbow Magazine in which they offer L.R. Tech based systems. The ad states "Install in any slot of Multi-Pak or use Y cable". So, that answers that question!
