  Definately would like more info on this!

  Are there -any- people out there happily using GemBoot on a Supra HD?
If, in fact, GemBoot is really that incompatable with supra, I'll forget

  (I hope this isn't one of those cases where the person relating the
reported problem, or the person at Supra not knowing what they're
talking about....)
