OK, I'll bite... anyone know where there's a copy? Unfortunately I don't have
the ACW I/O utils disk (I believe it was on there - it's not on the PANOS
utils disk at any rate), Google's being no help, and I couldn't see it on the
STH or BBC Lives! sites...
I'll try some of the internal Acorn PANOS disks in case it's lurking on there,
but I suspect it's not.
(Whilst on the subject, if I've got the Winchester connected, is there a way
of booting from an ADFS floppy in the floppy drive? The usual key combinations
seem to just want to try booting from the hard drive. Merely curious if
there's a way...)
cheers
