Hee Hee; I have had an awful thought - I don't think my Dad will be home around
that time, dammit. Well he'll just have to be home ;))

Yeah, but after what I have been through - I don't want to muck it all up again,
at least straight away. Maybe next week... :)

Yes, I actually did use v43.6b when I had my 040/40 but I was recommended to
use v40.16. Of all the things in this world - my A500+, yes A500+ has Kickstart
3.1. Grrrr :) Hence where I got the 3.1 Setpatch from :)

Paraglide, that should be here soon. No good to me though, since I have the
Ateo Bus, but rather adventurously I'm going to fit a Blizzard Vision PPC card
along side it; build a hardware switch to switch between the BVPPC and Pixel
64. before I do that though, I'll get OS3.5 and KS 3.1 - otherwise I'll literally
never get to the ROMs.... :))

I will do that :)

All the best,
