I have an old BIAB that just had an "experimental" Windows version out.  I 
understand that the current version (is it 3.0??) does not do patch caching.  
I called them a while ago and they said the next update would, and to just 
call them and ask if the version that supports patch caching is out before 
you buy.

In any case, though, I have not had any trouble getting BIAB to work as long 
as I manually load the patches I need.

Just wonder, you mean you will write every software you wanna use? for
example, OS2 driver, Windows driver, DOS ultrinit ...??

I've heard that someone had tried to hack the windows driver to support
more than 2 GUS on a PC, has he succeeded?

	I suppose you can, if you have software that was written to use 
more than one GUS.  But I personally don't know of any that does.

Subject: new drivers (version 356) on epas

Anyone know if the new gus system software on epas (dated Oct 13)
provide any extra functionality over 353 software that I already have?
353 does bank switching in the patchmanager & includes a 256k+ patch editor
Anything else on epas worth getting?
