However, there is no need to. You can access both the PC device (Mine are PC0: & PC1:) AND the Amiga device. On a one drive system, your applications can access the PC drive, say: cd ram: arc -x pc0:pcfile.arc If you want to copy a file from a PC disk to an Amiga disk, on a 1 disk system, you will have to copy to RAM: first. ex: copy pc0:myfile.dat ram:myfile.dat (Remove PC disk, insert Amiga disk) copy ram:myfile.dat df0:myfile.dat Works great!!! -- "What is another word | Dave Lowrey | [The opinions expressed MAY be for 'Thesaurus'?" | Amdahl Corp. | those of the author and are not | Houston, Texas | necessarily those of his Steven Wright | amdahl!dwl10 | employer] (`nuff said!)
