     Here's my story......I've been a C64 user for about 7 years now.
I just "inherited" an Amiga 2000 with a 2090 hard drive controller,
20 meg ST-506 drive, broken bridgeboard and 20 meg hard card.  The
bridgeboard has a 5 1/4 drive on it.

     The WorkBench disk is kind of hozed--the original owner never made
a backup and used the original for daily use.  I'm searching for a virgin
copy at local dealers.

     I have a whole lot of questions!  I'll try to save bandwidth and 
ask my first five:

     1.  I hear of talk about a C64 Emulator for the Amiga.  If there is
such an animal, what does one do about hooking up a 5 1/4 drive?

     2.  Is there documentation/help on what is on the WorkBench disk?
Something like what the "s", "c", "l", etc. directories are for.

     3.  What should or should not be in the startup-sequence file?

     4.  Does anybody have a layman's explanation of "assign"?

     5.  What can be safely eliminated from the WorkBench disk?

                                     Thanks
