[vcf-midatlantic] Amiga help

I have an Amiga 2500 and I run a SCSI2SD card in it. It's attached to the 
SCSI controller that came in it. One issue is that the SCSI2SD boots 
slower than the Amiga trying to access it, so I wait a few seconds then do 
Amiga-Amiga-Control or whatever the reboot three finger salute is.

BUT... get this. With WinUAE emulator on Windows laptop, I can stuff that 
SD card in it and boot the emulator from the same SD card that runs the 
Amiga. I copied all the WHDLoad stuff in via that means, DiskMash 
unitilies (DMS files) and other goodies. It's very convienient for moving 
stuff onto the system. IIRC I setup the SCSI2SD to look like 4 2GB disks 
or something, and I used the diskutil program? to prep em.

Listen to see if the disks are spinning. If not a thunk against the table 
should fix.

Good news that it still works hopefully!
