Summary:


Talking about AHDI - what does it do exactly? It installs some kind of
driver, but what does that driver consist of. Is it possible for me to
write my own driver?
 By the way, why isn't there a way to boot up a TOS.IMG file from the
harddisk? Or is there? It would be nice having such a facility in the
new TOS 1.4 for future diskbased releases or rather using the old
versions (ie "mushroom-tos").  It would have been nice having this
option in the Mega TOS since you could have released a TOS version on
disk for those who cannot upgrade their ROMs in a while for some reason. 
I do think the developers would have been happy, too. 

Is there any particular problem with this?
