Hi Marcy,

Petter has been working for quite a while now on what we call RDB support. That development happens in a separate branch on GitHub, which is a way for us to develop and test new features separately from the main emulator releases. We try out new features in branches, and once they seem to work ok we merge them into the main emulator branch from which we build releases.

So that feature cannot be tested in the recently released version, but there are tests going on at our end and in that test version it is already possible to boot from a HDD with Kickstart 1.3.

It is still a work in progress though, so sadly I cannot tell you anything definitive regarding a timeline.
