I'm in the process of copying my floppy disks to CD.
Actually, the best way would be to ADF everything onto CD and then use one of the virtual disk apps to use them on the A1.
Anyone here want to do an idiots guide to ADF's, virtual disks, etc?
I for one would like to know more.

As for screen dragging.. It it's too difficult, leave it.

As has been mentioned before, screen dragging in hardware simply wasn't used by the WinTel cartel, so more or less has been dropped (there may be a card out there that still possibly supports screen dragging-tho' I doubt it).
The P96 programmers are not likely to ever implement it in software, as they have stated that they are not too keen on it anyway.

This is different from 'screen swapping' though right? I mean, you can change from a screen in, say 800x600 and bring a 1024x768 one to the front like OS3.x ?

Can't see why this will change. After all, I use this all the time on my Voodoo3 with different programs, without any problems.
