- Well, actually I backed-up what I wanted to save (the system disk)
- immediately; what I was hoping to save was the disk drive and the deleted
- stuff still on the disk. Most of it was stuff I had heard of but never
- had a chance to check out (and could not afford to buy untested - I paid
- over $500 buck for SculpAnimate4D just days before Byte-by-Byte stopped
- supporting the Amiga). If I had liked any of it, I would have bought it
- (if for no other reason than to get the docs). I am really sad about
- losing the drive - I finally velcroed the drive to the back end of my
- desk to prevent further problems. I will probably add another surge
- protector in line and use that power switch to turn the machine off and
- on (thus I will be able to hide the power supply.
-
- What do I need to do to upgrade to v3.1 of the os? I have an '020
- acelerator and 68882 20mhz chip.

- Ps I noticed that something rattles now when I move the drive - maybe the
- problem is one of the jumpers fell of (I _am_ a dreamer aren't I?).
