	I would think long and hard before I called Disto or Ken-Ton
careless, and I don't believe I suggested anything like that in the
message.  As for RTFM, the guy bought the SCII used, and the seller
had long since lost any FM that would have helped out.  For the
record, I have great respect for both companies (and the people behind
them).

	Chris Burke (in an untitled article that appeared out of
thread on my newsreader, that's why I don't quote it) reminds that he
should install different cc3disk drivers which are aware of the
address change (perhaps ded can do the trick here?).  Come to think of
it, I don't believe that he has any special drivers at all, although
it appears that he can do some no-halt.  It's not perfect, I would
guess that the wrong drivers would be the cause.
	So, where should he get the latest drivers?  Would Disto
provide them, or is it ok (from them) to distribute them freely?
	Thanks for all the help.
