It also inserted '[SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE]' into the subject line of your
response (which I have now removed). Maybe you didn't see my 'intended'
response on 31 Oct 2012, as follows:

I can confirm that RPCEmu089/519 offers networking and internet. As you
say, it does not support IDE HD4 but, for me, that is not an issue since
HostFS works perfectly well, in its stead.

To try 5.19, at zero risk, I would suggest that you make a backup copy
of the entire RPCEmu folder, in Program Files. If the 5.19 upgrade is
successful, well and good. If the 5.19 upgrade fails, you can revert to
the backup. Nothing to lose!

Tony
