You should be able to use the whole disk with the Atari HD Utils, HD Driver would be a better fit, which you can purchase the latest version. > > PS what or how can I plug the flacon into a small lan. > What kind of connection are you looking for? http://hardware.atari.org has a cartridge port network card, with USB, available. I use the older version (EtherNec) with just the network card, and it works wonderfully with my CT60 Falcon, I've had it running maybe 3 years. You could also link the Atari to a PC through a null modem, but that is a little more frustrating (in my opinion) to setup. Keith
