Files added to the other partition worked just fine.I wound up making two scripts. read-cffa and write-cffa so the whole task is a bit easier. I think the hardest part is getting the card from the GS which is under a System Saver with a monitor on top of that. Well, I don't plan to remove it that much anyway.Backups were never easier! ;-)Oh yeah! I've setup and reset so many MsDOS and Windows systems I've lost count. Considering that Windows needs a fresh install sometimes, all I ever worried about was data backups. With the GS though, I just don't want to loose the time invested, over several years all told, for a few minutes of my time. Final move, burn a copy on CDRom as well.Plus, the info helps other *nix user who want to take advantage of Ciderpress.
I find that making a volume copy of the CFFA's CF card on my PC gives me a PC emulator environment that is automatically "synced" with my real development machine. -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
