And the HD-Port is not useble for other devices (tapes or the like). They just provide the signals the OMTI wants by software. They do not use the adressing sheme and protocol Atari defined for the HD-Port. So it is not compatible with *any* software that does adress the HD directly (not via system calls). It is bootable by now (with a ROM patch). hase -- Hartmut Semken, Lupsteiner Weg 67, 1000 Berlin 37 hase@netmbx.UUCP High on a rocky promontory sat an Electric Monk on a bored horse. (D. Adams)
