Well "Type 1" were the earliest forms of externals (like most of the 
Rinaldi externals); "Type 2" were externals written basically after HC 
2.0 was released, and were of a different format that Rev can't use.

Understood. I used to do external development with Compile-It back in 
the day as well, so I know what you mean. And if you're only concerned 
about OS 9, then you should be able to use those Compile-It externals 
in Rev (if I recall correctly Compile-It externals were all Type 1).
