The trick is to place the following in place of your Flags = 0 in the mountlist. Make it Flags = 12336. THis sets fastmode on via the mountlist. Other than that the first impression of the mountlist is that it oughta work... >HELPFUL HINT for those of you constructing your own Mountlists: The >file names for Device=, Handler=, and FileSystem= are CASE SENSITIVE. >My mountlist didn't work when "Device = stardrive.device" or >"FileSystem = l:FastFileSystem".

Better yet - she should get an Amiga and quit playing with dragons and knights.
