I then renamamed it to include the ,ffb. I then ran the emulator and chose the command line option from the menu. I then typed *hostfs and then *. and it did show the files in hostsfs. I then typed *basic and got the basic header. I take it this means the 4.39 rom is running? I then tried CHAIN "splug" and this looks better, I got Sparkplug self-extract routine BASIC File name '.!SparkPlug' not recognised at line 1260 I thought it might be something to do with the CSD and set that to hostfs::$ but it made no difference. I then copied the file using *copy to the ADFS disc and tried to CHAIn it there. No improvement, still the same will not extract. At that point my ideas and knowledge have exausted once more.
