Mark Johnson of Apple writes, "After many months of requests, I have finally updated ftp.apple.com [130.43.2.3] to include historic versions of Macintosh system software. Now you will find System 5.0 through 7.0.1 and System 7.0 Tune-Up 1.1.1 in the /ftp/dts/mac/sys.soft/ directory.

These are US systems only, and NO, future versions will not be available for FTP. If I can update the international systems with 7.0.1, I will do that next. Thanks for your patience.

SyQuest 3.5" Units -- Daniel Andresen sent this information about SyQuest drives: "I spoke with a SyQuest rep a Macworld Expo, and she confirmed that the 3.5" 105 MB SyQuest units would be out "within ninety days." She said only the IDE version was finished at this time, with the SCSI version to follow. She also refused to speculate on pricing, and was not even willing to say whether it would be cheaper or more expensive than the 5110c's (5.25" SyQuests)."
