People talked about PC Ditto emulator coming out last week.  My question is:
has anyone actually used/bought thisproduct and could they post a post a
review to the net?  I'm interested but I could use an address, price, etc.
                                Thanks a lot!

PS:  If enough people email me instead, I'll summarize.

Well, all I;ve heard have been product announcements and how good this one
is supposed to work.

If anyone can point me to the right place to find it, I'd like to give it a
shot.  Anyone know more?  Speak up!

Not having used PC Ditto (software) for a long time, I realized I need to
do a few things on the PC.  The problem is I'm having trouble installing
it on my hard drive.  I currently have 3 partitions (C,D, and E).  On
bootup, PC Ditto realizes all of these to be partition 0.  Trying to get
a directory on C or D results in a divide error.  It doesn't recognize
drive E (the infamous Abort, Retry, Failure prompt).
I have the ICD Host Adapter connected to a 20Meg drive.  Also, the version
is 2.0 (I seem to recall the latest version is 3.0 before Avant Garde went
out of business.)

First off, you might want to get version 3.0, which is the latest version
(actually, it might be 3.01, but that is trival).  Second, what brand of Hard
disk are you using, and more importantly, are you using the ICD drivers, or
a differnt brand (like Atari's drivers).  If you are using ICD, then what is 
the version of that?

I have had trouble installing the DOS to autoboot off the hard disk with ICD
software V. 4.1.2 (I think), but never had problems with the partition
directories.
