actually pc-ditto works great anywhere on the hard disk, i just created a 
subdirectory (c:\pcdos) copied everything into it that i wanted (from TOS
or PC-DITTO) and booted from the PC/DOS diskette. The directory and it's 
subdirectories are equally accessable from TOS and PC/DOS. Speed is about
1/3 of a PC, but i use it for wordperfect so who cares ?
