- Well, I *tried* altering the priority on the setup screen, and my hd
- still wouldn't autoboot but the floppy would... I had to make a
- startup-floppy which started Workbench and then pointed at the HD...
-
- I set the priority to 4 (and even 5), but no luck using some software
- that came with the HD... an RDB setup program or something... anyway,
- would HDTOOLBOX be better, and where can I get it? I ended up sending
- the SX1 back for repair anyway, since the parallel port didn't work...
-
- seeya!
