Have you tried booting the disk???... if you were paying attention to the net
or had asked about it you would have known that Hyper C uses it's own OS which
is not quite compatible with ProDOS or any other DOS whatsoever (that was the
main reason why it was made PD!!)  I will however be sending the OS "SOURCES"
for posting next week and then, all you happy hackers out there can see about
modifying it for ProDOS compatibility...
I've spoken to a local guy here who has also d/l'ed HyperC and it works
perfectly for him..

Chris - using the acct of a friend cuz I'm too lazy to go up to the mainframe
and send from my own acct there.... :-)
