TO ALL, Well, in talking to C= yesterday, I think I have found out the real problem with the HighDensity (HD) drives. WB2.04 will support the drive in DF0: only. When the flood of orders came in for the drives, C= filled as many as they could. People started poping these puppys in their machines in the space avaible – DF1:. It wouldn't operate corectly in HD mode so here now comes the flood of repairs??? Lets stop this say C= until we get it supported in other possible mounting spots. This is my guess from how my questions got answered. My question was why will my HD drives (I have 2) work perfectly in DF0:, but neather will work corectly in DF1: The answer was that they are not supported in DF1: but will probably be with the release of WB2.1 which should be in 3 to 6 weeks. When asked about the cost or upgrade for 2.1, they hadn't decided if the Gold Service would supply free to those of us still under their service or we will all have to pay. I was told it would be released in both rom and software upgrades. More when I hear!!!. JOHN – The Lost Southerner!!

Erik: I've had the CBM HD floppy on order from my dealer for about three months now. At least it is showing up on his backorder list from CBM! Michael …..on AutoPilot
