:...It loads my "bootgui=0" msdos.sys and my "incabinet=1" arcadeos (meaning it boots up to a command line and runs the arcade monitor version of arcadeos). When I want to upload files to it I just pull the boot floppy out, reboot the computer (using the bootgui=1 from the c:\ drive), and hook up a lan cable to my lan hub.

Here is another tidbit you might not know. Set your C:\ drive's bootgui=0 and it will always boot to a dos prompt. Then if you want windows to load, just type WIN at the prompt. No need for a separate boot disk to accomplish what you are doing!

Unless of course, you don't have a keyboard handy and have PCAnywhere set to load automatically. Then the boot disk will save you some time!
