I'm not really looking to use it at all at present, it's been in the
loft for probably 2-3 years now from purchase... I was just thinking
ahead to a time when I might want to resurrect it and have a little
play on the real thing again, rather than WinUAE and AIAB :-p

Space considerations at the moment... my 'puter room is a little
overstuffed already, considering most of the time I can't see enough
carpet to get a hoover in there :-}

I'll bookmark it all the same for future reference :-p

Backing them up like that assumes you have (a) a mig, and (b) can
network it* :-} - I meant in terms of reading them on a PC without
access to mig
* I did have a 2/10Mbit (?) PCMCIA card I could have used, but don't
know what happened to the drivers
