In my case, the relevant command would resemble something like... ATTACH RQ0: /dev/sda (where 'sd' is the driver, and 'a' is the controller). This works with any and all emulators since to UNIX, unlike Windows, everything is a file. "Devices" are not special entities to open()/close() calls, etc. I ran into this sort of problem in reverse when I was playing with various VMS emulators under Windows - there was no way to stick a physical VMS distro CD into the CD-ROM drive and have the emulator access it - when I sought help, the only answer I got was to use Linux :-) or to extract an image file of the CD and stick that on the Windows box and 'mount' that. If anyone has any solutions to this difference in operation between the two environments, I'd love to hear it. -ethan -- Ethan Dicks, A-130-S Current South Pole Weather at 02-Sep-2004 02:50 Z South Pole Station PSC 468 Box 400 Temp -50.8 F (-46.0 C) Windchill -87.59 F (-66.5 C) APO AP 96598 Wind 16.3 kts Grid 015 Barometer 680.4 mb (10611. ft) Ethan.Dicks(a)amanda.spole.gov http://penguincentral.com/penguincentral.html
