Note that in STE mode, it's not 100% working too for me. I sometimes 
have to click several times right button to show the "volume" choice, 
press enter, click twice on "load module" to have the "clock" displayed, 
and so on, but it's much difficult to get the directory than in STF mode 
where I can get it to work every time.

I don't have any explanation for this ; maybe there's a bug in AS on 
real STE and this bug is somewhat "amplified" in hatari ?
Do you know if AS uses TOS to access floppy or if it uses its own FDC 
routines ?
