Hi Bruce,
I used to have a Six Pack a LONG time ago and IIRC there wheren't
"drivers" for it but it did have some utility programs. There was a RAM
disk program, pair of utilites to set the real time clock and to read it
and set the software clock, and a print buffer program. There were probably
more but that's the ones that I remember. I don't know if I still have the
programs but I'll look.

stunning price of $18 with tax.

8-bit MFM drive controller I'm going to stick in there, along with a hard
drive.
