- I had the same problem when I had a DATAFLYER 500. It seems that the the
- AutoBootROM of Dataflyer puts remembers where the boot code is on your Hard
- Drive and expects to find it there next time or fails to boot. So if you RE-ORG
- your disk, AutoBooting dies!

- Un fortunately I don't have the proceedure that I got from Expansion Systems
- to "FIX" this problem.
