Thank god for Basilisk - now that I'm now out of blank CDs, and I had to get Monkey Island 1 & 2 onto the IIfx via network, I tried sharing straight from the PCs hard drive onto the IIfx and it worked fine. Another point for Basilisk. I'm avoiding playing the gane on the emulator because of issues with the midi and graphics drivers - sometimes the real deal is what you need ; ). The next step is to get the IIfx to run programs off the network - a 40mb HDD is becoming increasingly limiting : S.
