You ARE kidding, aren't you?  The instructions I read with my copy of F-19
clearly stated a third disk, supplied by the "user", is used to save all the
pilot/mission data.

My disk A and disk B are carefully-write-PROTECTED for safety.

My only comment is that it doesn't seem to make any difference whether the
3rd (pilot) disk was AmigaDOS-formatted or not (judging from the sounds made
while updating that disk).

Too bad F-19 hasn't been updated in the past two years ... I'd like the
opportunity to lob some "Rockeye"s or Durandals onto a certain "bunker"
in Baghdad!  :-)   One of my cousins is presently flying the EF-111A out
of a site NW of Iraq and the F-19 gives me a chance to re-live vicariously
some of his tales.
