E/L runs better than I would expect on an sx33, but my trouble is that the Versa S has a removable floppy. If I don't change my cmos settings at boot time to no floppy, then executor hangs as it searches for the nonexistent drive. I realize that very few people have this problem, but I was wondering if a command line switch could be put in, something like -noflop, or if you could put a time out on the drive after 30 seconds or a minute. It would be a great help to me. /m
