tlz at drutx quotes SUPRA as saying:
>"Yes", they said. "GEMBOOT is bad. Trashes your disk. Don't use it.
>Actually DECREASES your available folders to 20....."
In this generalised form this is simply not true!
Probably they should have said: "It's not compatible with our hard-disk
driver". GEMBOOT works very well with the original Atari driver, maybe
you should have checked the tree structure with GEMDIR first? On a correctlly
working system you should see GEMDOS using the additional directory blocks.
A bit more info on the programs you had in the AUTO folder would probably
be appreciated by people with a SUPRA harddisk.
