munch .......... blech - rotten food ...
Ok! Listen, Simon - I would send ATARI a little box, with something ,,ticking''
in it (you can see what I mean every time you produce a bus-error) ...
... if they change the next ROM-version (if there will ever be one ...) so that
it won't load desk-accesories and desktop.inf from drive C.
---> BECAUSE:
Due to a bug in the us-version of the TOS-ROMs (I think it's only ,,a bit'')
this version WON'T boot a hard-disk - so, I agree with you - it wouldn't make
sense to load the above named files from c: .
---> BUT:
I've got my 60MB-Supra BOOTING for over 1/2 a year now !!! And I like it
this way ... 'cause I never had any serious problems ...
Thus IT MAKES SENSE, because loading something from a SUPRA-Drive (I don't
know the performance of ATARI-drives ...???!!!...) is MUCH FASTER, than
loading it from a 354 or 314 ...
Rgds.
