This is basically what I did on my 520, and PC-ditto-2 works, but when I
boot the machine the display sometimes shakes for a bit.  It settles
down after a couple of minutes and is usable, but this is an annoying
side effect.

It would have been nice having PCD-2 within a year or so of ordering it,
but it only arrived about a month ago.  I've now bought a Mega-2 and
have a PC laptop, so if anyone wants a 512 K ST 520 with PCD-2
installed, a colour monitor and double-sided drive, let me know -- I'll
let it go cheap.
