Total Systems

Gemstart 2.1 (24 k)

Gemstart 3.0 (34 k)

This 1991 driver was made for the Total Systems Gemini accelerators for the Macintosh SE. It also works with Novy Quik30 accelerators, and fixes the distorted sound problem that otherwise accompanies the Novy boards. The proper way to install this Control Panel on System 7 is to place it in the Extensions folder (so it loads first), and make an alias of it in the Control Panels folder (so you can easily open it).
