That sounds possible, although I have the Sonic Blaster in slot 2. I could move that, but some terminal programs want Slot 2 to be set to the Modem Port, and not "Your Card". If I wanted to boot from floppy, I used the QuickBoot patch. It doesn't not seem to work with System 5.0.4 (or is it because of the RAMFast???) Brian T. Tao {taob@pnet91.cts.com} || Computer guru?
