I just created the hd file using the option in the menu and then after booting bdos : DPOKE DVAR25,recordnumber RENAME RECORD TO "xxxxx" The record was then available to BDOS and could be used normally. The atom support seems to work really well, thanks Si a big improvment for me over the v090 beta 4. As I've mentioned before as I use a program which switches diskettes with the RECORD command to read data from multiple diskettes. Ian
