Dom; Try a computer dealer on the mounting adapter. I am pretty sure that the Rodime will only use a "normal" 3.5 to 5.25 adapter. That is an adapter that would adapt a regular floppy would work. A few manufactures' adapters rely on non-standard mounting holes present on their own drive but most do not. If you get one that uses the normal 3.5 mounting locations then all should be ok. From a software standpoint, you don't need anything on the flicker fixer. It is virtually transparent as far as the amy is concerned. Once it is hooked up it will work except that there is a phasing adjustment that may need to be made (small hole in the mounting bracket). The phasing may need to be adjusted if you see a small amount of jitter in the image. If you don't have a flicker fixer manual and MicroWay or CBM won't send you one, let me know as I should have a spare around here somewhere. Some add on video hardware will occassionally have problems with the flicker fixer. If you encounter such problems, give MicroWay a call as they are VERY good about helping with problems. Welcome to the world of Amiga. It may take you awhile to get used to multitasking but once you do, nothing else will please you! Also, on this forum…."the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask!" You will find that most folks here will go to a lot of trouble to answer any questions that you might have. Many of us sat in front of that original A1000 with almost nothing in the way of documentation and prayed for someone to talk to that could share experiences. 73, bill
