Thomas Why on earth would you suggest that VD0: wouldnt reboot properly on an A1000. Vd0: was written on a A1000 back when most people hadnt even heard of Amigas. I have been using it on my 1000 for about four years. It is an outstanding product by Perry Kivolowitz of ASDG and has remained stable throughout the Amigas evolution. If you arent getting much support from ASDG on it, it is because it was written as shareware and Perry has never received much money back on it, but he has received an endless stream of enquiries for support on it. Mostly by people who have never read the manual. Why should he support it any more ? He has other products that he has to support that pay the rent. John Lemoine 75320,143

John: Because as I recall it with the A1000, if you had to do an addmem 200000 2fffff when rebooting, it was "good bye, vd0." Of course, its been awhile. The problem may have been elsewhere. In any event, I have no difficulty with either of two A2000s if I want to use vd0. The introduction of the RAD device is probably the main reason PK doesn't bother supporting vd0. He wrote it before there was much of an ASDG. That, plus an advanced 2 Meg memory board sort of helped put him on the map, so to speak. FACC was another of his products that was released commercially. I purchased it and have been very satisfied. *That* is the one I wish he would support! I would be more than happy to purchase an update that permitted its use on a hard drive. Regards Tom
