I seem to recall that there is a way to put an If EXISTS VOLUME: in the startup-sequence and not have the system put up a requestor if the volume is not inserted. Do I recall correctly?

Do I recall correctly? Thanks to everyone for telling me the right way. It is: Assign VOLUME: Exists If Warn Echo "Volume not available."

Do I recall correctly? The answer to your problem is in the AmigaDOS 1.3 Enhancer Software manual, page 5-5 talks about setting up a RAD: workbench... you have to check to see if it is there... if not then mount and format RAD:. If it is then boot from it. Failat 30 Assign >NIL: RAD: Exists ;this is the line you are looking for If Warn Echo "the device does not exist" Endif > > > Michael Harris - harris@catt.ncsu.edu or harris@carvm3.vnet.ibm.com > Computer and Technologies Theme Program, North Carolina State University > > ======================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Darrell Grainger (darrell@comspec) |Comspec Communications Inc. | | Toronto, Ontario, Canada |Disclaimer: My opinions do not | | (416)617-1475 (416)633-5605 |reflect those of my employer. | |------------------------------------+-------------------------------| | Motorcycle: Honda PC800 | Computer:Amiga 2000 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
