Well, there I go again, putting my foot in my mouth.  The hard-disk
booting code is not available yet.  It is ready; its unavailability
is a policy decision.  If you would like to influence this policy,
please send your opinion BY MAIL to Leonard Tramiel / Atari Corp. /
1196 Borregas Ave. / Sunnyvale, CA  94086 / USA.

Simon, since you are in Europe, the availability of updates (etc.) is
governed not by Atari USA but by another division.  I don't know who or
where the people handling Switzerland are (Germany? France?
Switzerland?), but they are the ones you should complain to about
updates. 

Do you have Alcyon 4.14?  That's one of the most important updates
you should know about.  Other than that, there have been improvements
to the standard library modules xmain.o and xopen.o, and a new gemstart.o
(and gemstart.s) with a configurable memory model.  [This is a plug:
these three improvements are by me.]
