  I had a very interesting thing happen yesterday. After work I turned the
monitor for the first time that day ( I leave my machine run 24 hrs a day) and
found myself face to face with the Kickstart prompt!  Figuring that there must
have been a power glitch I inserted Kickstart then Workbench - vdk: was still
alive !  About 1 meg's worth of files where still intact.  All I can figure is
that it must have been a very stort 'glitch'.  Has anyone else had this
happen?
  BTW, in testing Phil Staub's PSTransformer I found that vdk: will often
survive using the Transformer too. Thanks Phil - yes I use the Transformer,
for work related stuff, its slow but gets the job done. My system config: 3
megs ( 2 meg Allegra, 512k internal hack at $C00000 w/Haynie fix ) and 3
drives - 2 -3 1/4", 1 - 5 1/4".  Patiently waiting for Bryce's KickStart patch
for $C00000 memory destuctive testing - has anyone seen Transactor for the
Amiga yet?  (Yes, it is VDK: 1.0 - $10.00)

Thanks,

John Youells
