Thanks Kevin. I guess there must be some thing else going on with my computer because I just tried that out and it did access the hard disk during boot up but didn't start out spoken or give me any kind of sound feed back at all. I better get a sited person to have a read of the screen.
Thanks again. oh the simple days of OS 9. hmmmm ok so maybe every thing wasn't quite as simple as that loll.
