Hear the digitised roar of the 5.3 litre 12 cylinder engine as you tear along lanes, roads and motorways at speeds over 150 m.p.h. "E-Type" takes racing simulations into the work of 32 bit RISC processing to bring you a game of a quality that is not often found even in the arcades. If you are new to car driving you can take the very easy to drive automatic for a spin but experienced drivers can optimise performance using the faster 5 speed manual. There are hazards galore in the 5 varied scenarios including other cars, roadworks, pedestrians, trees, rocks, bushes, oil spills and many more. "On the Archimedes the illusion of speed is terrifyingly real and the way the landscape moves in three dimensional perspective is a joy - a stunning experience." The Independent, Dec'89. "This is a superb game....the tracks are fantastic." The Times Dec'89. "No race game on any other machine looks as good." The Times Educational Supplement Dec'89. E-Type Extra 100 Miles This consists of 100 extra miles of very hilly and hazardous roads. They will test even the best drivers to the limit. E-Type Designer This highly advanced but simple to use designer allows you to design your own tracks. It is enormously flexible to produce an endless variety of tracks to challenge you and your friends. "The perfect compliment to E-Type." The Games Machine Feb'90.

Im still getting to grips with my a3000 but I am trying to get this game copied to hd on my a3000 using !Usbfs

Please can someone explain what
"copy the disc 1 image file as !E-Type.F1060901"

Actually means?

I have copied !E-type from disc one to my hd but I am lost after this step. Is the disc one image file just the data file for disc one? Do I put this inside !E-type which i copied from disc one floppy?

Im sure this is really basic stuff i am missing here but Ive got alot to learn. I have managed to get some games installed to hd.

Go into the !E-Type directory (hold SHIFT and double-click the directory) and copy the disc 1 JFD floppy image to the folder and rename it to "F1060901"

Thanks for explaining that Jon. I will give it another go. Once I've done a few more games i should have the hang of it hopefully. Cheers
