Peter, Well…speaking of confessions I have one myself! You will have seen the large number of replies to my original problem and notice that most of the advice comes down to (i) use an IDE card on the PC-side and (ii) use addbuffers on the Amiga-side virtual drive. Right…I *knew* my startup sequence was set to 900 buffers on the appropriate partition so was resigned to saving money for the IDE. As more and more comments about addbuffers came in I thought I would doublecheck. I opened a shell and typed addbuffers dh3: to get the response *32*. Checked the startup-sequence and sure enough, it had the command in for 900 buffers. Went into shell again and tried to increase buffers by typing as follows addbuffers dh3:2000 and got the answer …. invalid device or volume name dh3:2000 And then the light slowly came on!!!! The reason I have been slaving over a hot drive for the last 2 weeks is because I forgot to put a space between *dh3:* and *2000* I entered the space, re-booted and HEAVEN. If I wasn`t so pleased with the result I would be crippled with embarassment. Thanks to you and everyone else for telling me what I thought I knew.
