There are a couple of questions I would like to ask first. 1. From within GEM, I tried installing more disk drives (by selecting the Install item from one of the menus). I found that disk C is reserved for the cartridge slot -- this I take is for the ROM disk. I tried installing more disks, but this is as far as I got. Now, I remember reading somewhere that the ST's hardware will handle up to 4 floppies, so does this mean that they have changed the total number to 2? Does this mean that the hard disk cannot be used with 2 floppies already installed? I would appreciate it if someone armed with the official documentation (I don't have any) or the like would tell me the score. 2. Has anybody succeeded in getting a 51/4 inch drive hooked up to their ST? I might consider that alternative too. Regards, Anees Munshi mugc@utecfa.UUCP voice (416) 241-2166
