I had the original ROM code for the Amiga, but I'm not sure whether it was ever ported to the PC.  Any takers?

I will have a look again over the next few days and let you know if I can sort it out Michelle, or if anyne knows how to run the old roms on XP (probably in a DOS window is it ? ) can let me know then that will simplify things  :)

I'm sure I have it on a floppy disc, Michelle. I would think you would have to install it from Dos. If you want I can look it out for you. :D
