That's a name slip on my part; Stacker was indeed that disk driver level compression utility; I used it for a while under System 7. I was thinking of Servant. Ah, Servant.

Re: New Mac 512K Blog
Thanks for the heads-up! Did Stacker run on the 512k, or was that just for 128k? I don't know. Wasn't that a disk compression utility that operated at the device driver level?

As soon as I get a MacRoman code page, I'll be converting all names to UTF-8, or at least ISO-8859-1.

Newsgroup proposal for comp.sys.mac.vintage

If anyone here still reads Usenet, and would be interested in such a group, please head over to news.groups.proposals and make your comments on the RFD. Thanks!
