One further query Bill. (Already asked but the message seems to have been lost.)
1 - I cannot find the reference to using A2 data. I checked my other laptop and cannot find an entry either - even though it works fine.

2 - Cannot get the Disk-2 images to be 'installed to hard drive'. Noting that I already have copied the directory, it shouldn't be difficult to get the data used. Can you give my brain cells a gentle kick?

TIA

Lawrence
