That's a shame :( I use CDRWs for backup, though the prices of CDRs
are coming down so low that even that may change.

Well, I've invested in PFS3, and I bought an UW HD at the Kickstart
show which I've installed this evening, running on a 68 pin cable, so
I should have the makings of a decent CD writing system once I hook
the Yamaha 4416 up to it.

I wasn't able to read them with AmiCDFS, that is now fixed as I've
installed CacheCDFS.
The system hangs when I try to create them, and a re-boot is necessary
to escape from it.

I have cybppc.device 44.69 (took my life in my hand and re-flashed
it a couple of weeks ago )
I seem to have a problem with the early boot menu, though (I take it
you mean the CyberStorm early boot menu?)
It now shows as what I can only describe as a "split screen", and is
unreadable. It worked the last time I looked at it (some months ago)
and the early startup menu works OK. I have a PIV installed. I've no
idea what could be causing it, unless it's something in the latest
flash update.
Don't make me flash the ROM again, noooooooooooooooo! ;)
