Yes.  And `*configure floppies 4' would also work at the star-prompt
(F12 from the Desktop).

Yes.  I think the keyboard repeat rate in the emulated CMOS
battery-backed RAM may have been too fast.  `*configure repeat 50' would
probably slow it down enough.  They must have done that in CVS.

Looking at the source code, I think the first number should be in the
range 0 to 3 inclusive to specify the size of the image files HardImage0
to HardImage3.  The web page user guide is incorrect in giving an
example using 1 and 2 and saying they're the only possible values
AFAICS.  I'll try and get it corrected.  So the problem may be you have
HardImage0 but your arcemrc file is saying `1' instead of `0'.  The
error handling should be improved to tell you this.

Cheers,


Ralph.
