Thanks Chad. It's good to know that there is a way using AW2K -- I hadn't noticed that checkbox for future launching! I don't mind (at least not too much) paying eBay an extra .10 for the service -- I had a drive fried once because of a thunderstorm and I don't ever want to repeat that experience, so I shut 'er down when I'm going to be away! Actually, it was the "floppy disk control board" back in the days before hard drives had been thought of for home computers! A TRS-80 with 48Kb of RAM and the internet wasn't available for anyone except scientists and the government ... does that date me or what??!!!!
