Hi Paul, Not to say "I told you so..." but: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg147507.html Sometimes it's prudent to buy slightly behind cutting edge to assure that you can get your work done - unless of course your work is to see if you can get new hardware to work with the system - and in that case, you may want to subscribe to cooker ;) Now to your problem; I'm currently testing cooker on a separate hdd and it does seem to have support now for the c64 - you might try it if you can't return your c44 to the store which you bought it - no guarantees.
