That's right how I though about it. > I've also changed it so it only does it when a disk is present in drive 1. > It'd probably also be easy to check to see if the disk is bootable first > too... Is this really necessary? If you autoboot non-bootable disk, you simply get "no dos". So what? I can't imagine why somebody can have non-bootable disk in drive 1 when booting, since you can't boot from drive 2, and without booting DOS you can hardly work with the Coupe. --- Aley Keprt
