Yes, of course I should look into that! There are several, there's a backup of the boot partition on the hard drive, then there's the JAZ. Well, I will definitely check out the priority settings for booting.
Thank you for leading me in this direction!!
Speaking of BOOT2: (which is, again, not up to date): is there a mirror program that could duplicate every file action (create, delete, rename, etc.) onto a backup device? Some type of program that would examine actions (a handler, maybe) and then perform these actions on a user-selected device? That would really simplify the backup situation in that a backup would be maintained continually. I've looked through Aminet, but maybe I've not recognized THE ONE.
Re: If only the PC... Well I have a PC and haven't turned it on in ages. I must admit that I really, really like the Amiga, and also that DOPUS has really enhanced the experience immeasurably.
Regards,
Michael
