Sorry this reply is late,I haven't had time to read and digest your help
properly  until now. Anyway.........I have a spare space where the second
floppy space is but there seems to be a plate that obscures the position.
This plate currently supports the first floppy. Does this have to be removed
if I fit a HD underneath?

Hmmm....I logged on Arcade and downloaded the demo of Ovation and then
downloaded the archived file of Frobnicate. However, even though  Ovation
loaded it wouldn't load the Frobnicate file saying 'ArcFS in use'. I tried
with SparkPlug but that didn't work either.   :(

Thanks for your help, Richard.

P.S. I only really need the syquest for backing up the first HD. Would
another HD be the best option or not?
