Me neither.  :-)

I assumed that and had it up to the point of having NitrOS9 on a
40M hard disk with a bunch of Floppy images for Basic as well.

I am trying to do this without the CF as I prefer real disks and in
order to have both a Master and a Slave no CF.  Right?

And again and again and again.  :-)

Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I prefer real disks.  And I am not sure
where CF stands now as far as maximum number of writes.

I thought when you use it the CF is Master?

I eventually figured that out.  I tried using bigger disks originally
and had a lot of problems until I determined what the disk size limit
was.

Well, the installing NitrOS9 doc seemed to work really well, but I am
having problems with the sIDE doc.  :-)

I do appreciate all the help.
