I tried my version of MessyDOS on my Dad's A500, and it locked up his computer like it did mine. I'll recheck my Mountlist entry just in case I erred someplace. However, I'm still concerned. I bought a game while I was done in the US a few months ago. I brought it home and tried it on my A2000, but it did not work. I tried it on the A500, and it did work. The game is "AD&D Heroes of the Lance". The main difference between my A2000 and my Dad's A500 which I think could possibly effect the booting of this game is that mine has the 1 Meg Agnus and the flicker Fixer, while his doesn't. BTW, is there any difference whatsoever with an external A1010 drive and a stock internal Amiga 3.5" drive? Also, I would like to know if it is safe to open the cases of my internal drives to clean them out. While cleaning the rest of my computer, I no ticed a great deal of dust inside the drive, and I can only clean it if I remove the metal shielding. Finally, if you haven't noticed, my space bar no longer gives me double spaces when I only press it once. I opened up the keyboard and gave it a cleaning, pulled off a couple of keys and sprayed some contact cleaner onto the connections inside. Even the delete key hasn't been acting up…..yet! BTW, thanks for all the help! (Do you, by chance, write for AmigaTech Journal? I'll be getting a subscription soon, and I thought it would be nice to see some Transactor authors in it, for familiarity sake!)
