A Note from Holland here (still cold),

The Hard disk boor program which I wrote about a few days back
will be send over the Net within a few days. There are two things I
still have to do. The first one is to ask permission from Atari to
include the latest hard disk driver (which I want to include due to
the many complaints on the net). Second of all I need to translate
the docs into English for all you guys (I sure you want like it in Dutch).
In the meantime I have also done some research on the MacBongo programm
(Mac emulator), to see if I could post it to the Net. The problem
with this is two fold. First of all it uses parts of the programm
written by David Small, the original Magic Sac developer.
Second of all it uses the Mac's OS roms (on disk). Both parts have
a copyright on it. I was hoping that the developer of MacBongo
had changed both the OS and the program in such a way that it
could be considered as being new programms, so that the copyright
was not valid anymore. However, I dont't think this is the case, so I can not
distribute them on the net. Sorry guys, I have even taken advise
from Atari (Holland), and they also where of the opinion that it
would not be correct to do.

If you are in much of a hurry, and want to make sure you have a proper
version, send me a floppy through the normal mail (and include say
a dollar for return postage).  My mailling address follows:

Stichting Atari gebruikers
P.O. Box 40181
4130 ED Vianen

Attn Casper Jansen

PS The Stichting Atari gebruikers is an Atari Users group with
about 4100 members, which makes it (according to Sig Hartman) the
largest Atari users group in the world!).
