Re: What could have been...

Yeah, the Sampling Command Station would have been AWESOME. And so
obvious, I can't believe they never actually did it.

I'd like to see an OS X E-Loader too. Has anyone tried running
E-Loader on an Intel Mac using Boot Camp? I got rid of my last OS9 Mac
a while ago, and these reports about problems with the WinXP USB
drivers are making me worry that I won't be able to use the Windows
version either...
