I put my romdisq in there a while back (inside the MinisQL case) and it's booting from that of course. Its been so long since I added the romdisq I'd forgotten about it since I don't use the Minis-QL that often. As you say, the machine hasn't been used for several weeks, I just fired it up tonight to test a new program on the games page on my website (X-Words from David Denham) on a JM ROM. Luckily, I have a spare 2.5 inch hard disk somewhere, so I guess it's time to swot up on how to format a Qubide hard disk again :-( Thanks, Rich. -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
