Don, Yes, I understand everything you're saying. You're saying exactly what's in the 2.04 manual, which I'm in the process of reading, and I understand it. The problem is Sam Noonan's comments from IVS and Todd Butson's comments from TTR. After installing the 2 ROMs into the DKB board, I read the Getting Started 2.04 manual. After reading it, I felt I had to do five things: 1) Remove any references to FastFileSystem from my MountList entries; 2) Remove any references to GlobVec from my MountList entries; 3) Make sure I was using the new DOS type in my MountList entries; 4) Remove any references to FastFileSystem from the RDB on my HD; and 5) Backup my HD, reformat my HD, and restore my HD under 2.04. Is this correct? I took care of my MountList entries, but Todd from TTR said not to change the MRTape-handler, which does include a reference to GlobVec= -1. Why do you think he told me to leave it in, when the manual said to delete it? This is very frustrating. Should I listen to the manual or the manufacturer? Then Sam from IVS said not to change my RDB or reformat my HD. So I don't know who to listen to anymore. What do you think? Also, does any of this have anything to do with the assign problem I'm having with my startup-sequence? Thanks for your help. Dom Fontana
