@Sarek

I appreciate the Kudos my friend , buf fair is fair, as we work together

I have to admit the pcmcia hard disk method certainly is a good option compaired to a network. (as that can be an absolute biatch to setup fully with SAMBA)

there has been some development with a friend of mine on how to get the Amiga to boot from a floppy initially and then to continue booting from the PCMCIA card.

Also i have been looking into remus and some of the work done by doobieray to see if one could get to boot from a pcmcia card, ROM hacking is a wholesome sport
