	Cecure bought the rights to Myarc products after Myarc withdrew from the TI market. They also bought the rights to some of the products produces by Rave99, specifically the Speech Interface Adapter. They designed several upgrades to the hardware for the Geneve 9640 and produced a small number of modified Rave99 Speech Interfaces that decoded the AMA, AMB, and AMC address lines necessary for use with the Geneve 9640. They also repaired Myarc products for the TI community.		Cecure bought the rights to Myarc products after Myarc withdrew from the TI market.

	With the appearance of hard disk controller cards, users tried to mount hard drives into the box into the floppy compartment. However, the power supply is not designed to sustain the current required for the hard drives; thus, a separate power supply is recommended.

	All peripheral cards are expected to provide their own voltage regulators. Therefore, it is not recommended to replace the power supply by today's PC switched power supplies, as those already provide regulated power which may cause the regulators on the cards to lower the voltage below the acceptable range.
