Re: GEMBOOT and Supra disk

   I took a deep breath and tried GEMBOOT on my 30 meg Supra disk.
All seems to have gone well, and I now have about 45 folders on the
hard disk with no probelms.  I have not run the daylights out of it,
but I copied about 15 folders (1.5 MByte) worth of stuff back onto the
hard disk without problems, after I installed.
  I was most careful with my boot disk. It was brand new, with the following
file order:  supboot.prg (supra hard disk driver), settime.prg (time setting 
program), scache.prg (disck cache), spool.prg (print spooler), and finally
gemboot.prg.  It simply worked.  System booted as normal, logged in my three
partitions of the disk drive, and up came the desktop.  GEMDIR gives a nice 
tree of the folders!  I will mail further messages if I run into trouble.  
EVERY LAST THING is backed up to floppies just in case.
