Oops!  I forgot the following info about my Spectre setup:

I am running a 1040STFM with a SupraDrive and TOS 1.0 (11/20/85 ROM).
Spectre menus are : 832K RAM
                    no cache
                    parallel printer
                    Boot HD
                    Automount HD
 Atari logo----->   /|\ "Hard Disk"
                    Detect disk insertion
                    Sound-11
                    Alt video
The program claims to be V1.9, although it is called 1SPEC19F.PRG.  I am running
Finder B1-6.1 and System B1-6.0.2 (I think the B is for Britain) currently.
When I changed the RAM to 512K, Word ran a little better (weird!), and did page
previews, and spell checking, and glossaries much more happily than with 832K.
If these bugs disappear in 1.9F, then life will be fine.

When I boot the ST, I leave a GEM floppy in the drive to speed the autoboot.  I
tend to leave this in whilst running Spectre, but sometimes swap it for a
Spectre MFS disk with bootblocks but no System or Finder.  This is my
transverter disk.  Starting Spectre gives the 'bong', and the floppy is read.
Then the hard disk goes and boots into the Finder.  _No_ floppy disk appears on
the desktop (the hard disk does though)!  If I eject the floppy by hand, all
hell breaks loose (loads of Mac dialogs - insert the disk (I do), can't remember
what else), but I remembered that I can press F1 to mount the disk.
Everything is OK then.

The Shift Undo problem - it seems to work if you press it really sharply.  Any
longer causes the black screen, as you say.  The lack of a key click gives a
few problems at this point.

Cheers!

    Chris
