I'm hoping someone can help me with this minor but annoying problem.  I 
recently purchased the "Multiface" cartridge to ensure I had backup of 
some #@%$ copy protected programs.  I want to use the cartridge at boot 
up but unfortunately, when I either have autoboot set for my hard drive 
(drive C), or have the boot program in an auto folder of a floppy, the 
cartridge will not work and is not recognized by the system (just get 
the busy bee forever).  I can make it work however by running the HD boot 
program manually, after I have booted up without the hard drive on.  I 
don't understnad this at all??  Is it the auto/folder booting , or just 
the fact that I have the hard drive on when I initially turn on my
computer that is causing this?? Thanks for any help!
