Randy; Beg to pardon, but DiskEd can be gotten from three sources: 1) The vewrsion 1.0 Kickstart disk 2) The Macro Assembler package 3) The MCC Pascal package. And have heard reports that it's also in the Lisp package…but can't confirm, as I don't have Lisp. John

1) Installation…….To install the drive (at least at present), you have to use a single-slot adapter (provided in the packaging). This adapter is a bus end, so it has to be the last sidecar onto the Amiga's bus port. It installs on the side of the Amiga, and is really…

To tell the truth, as-is Animator/Images is allright, but in order to make the programs work correctly (and to do more than about 6-10 seconds of animation) you'd need at least 1 meg or more..It looks as if optimum for the program would be 2-meg or more for true tasking…
