but this is totally unessesary and can become ridiculously expensive! If I 
have a 5 meg A2000 with a HD in it, why should I spend another $1000 on a 500
system so I can d/l and play a game at the same time when I should be able to 
do it with the system I presently have?

*I* dont own a 2000, i have a 500P. I knew alot of games would not work unless
you had 1 meg of ram <the good games usually anyway> and I knew i was going to
need the extra ram for other programs. However, it pisses me off when a game
like SOTB 2 or f19 stealth fighter doesnt recognize df1: or df2:!!! <stealth is
hd mountable but doesnt recognize df1:. this is something I find odd>

Psygnosis is improving somewhat- lemmings does utilize df1: and supposedly
uses the extra ram. Unforutunately it doesnt multi task and isnt HD mountable.
Im sure the IBM version of the game is. can someone care to explain why?
