I tried posting this once from my site already but there seems to be
something wrong with our news program, as I can't read it from this site.

NOTE: This message is from depeche@calvin.cs.mcgill.ca; please do not
reply to this address.

I just upgraded my 1040ST to tos 1.4. I really like the speedup of the
hard disk but there are a few questions I have about it.

1] When I format a disk from the desktop, nomatter what disk or what
drive I am using, I get 'bad disk' errors when it nears track 79 or so.
These disks format and work fine if I use Neodesk,. Anyone else have
simmilar problems?

2] I used to use PQ.PRG, a background print buffer by Wayne S.
Arczyinski, but this no longer works on tos 1.4. I sent mail to him
asking about new versions but haven't gotten a reply from him yet. Does
anyone know of a program whic does the same basic thing but also works
on tos 1.4? Spool11.Tos will not do as it is much too slow for my
printer. I need one very urgently!!

3] I have a supra 30mb hard disk which at the moment is setup to
autoboot. When I had tos 1.0 and if I wanted to disable autoboot for one
session (i.e. to play games) I held ctrl-alt-lshift and the floppy would
boot instead of the hard disk. This doesn't work on tos 1.4. Does anyone
know how I can remedy this? (At the  moment I have to unplug the DMA
cord whenever I want to boot directly from floppy).

any and all help would be appreciated, and my sincere apologies if my
previous messages did get posted to your site and this is the third
time you are seeing them, but I want to make sure...
