The latest issue of AmigaWorld features a 2-page article by Timothy Trimball, covering all the details on how to do what Andy is talking about with an AmigaDos hard disk. This includes tips, like how to "unlink" (close) the virtual disk before shutting down, so that next time you reboot the virtual disk is not a bunch of garbage). I am always amazed at the kind of games one can play with the Amiga. -- Marco
