Looks like HD-Driver is only getting worse and worse, :-(

I'll have to play with it on the Mighty Sonic and a standard Falcon,
but that isn't much fun:). V7.12 works very well, so I guess I am
only out the $50.00 for the new version. One advantage to being on the
ASH BBS is the updates are easily available. It cost me about $8.00
for 20 minutes of time, and I have the downloading process down pat
now:). I was able to get CAB, HD Driver and a few other files in that
time. With the long distance I am using, after 20 minutes, the cost is
nill.

I think those extra 2 IDE drives are for the Milan. It has got 2 IDE connectors
making it possible ot use 4 IDE drives.

Ahhh, I guess I am a little narrow minded:). You mean there are
actually computers other than the Falcon?:).
