I don’t recall. I think not - I can only recall one disk needed to set up a Paintbox. And it wasn’t very big - obviously, because it fitted into a palette area, 768x128x8bits.

Not I. Someone's initials, but nobody comes to mind. I didn't have anything to do with the actual painting, just low level stuff. But we were all in one lab.
thank you, even the smallest detail could help.
Fair dos, in that case, I could use some advice on some odd access patterns I'm seeing when the boot monitor is searching for fonts and brushes. More info in reply.

It first seeks to Cylinder 1 (as opposed to Cylinder 0), then issues what i'm assuming is a Read command, then loops presetting the RAM address on the Disc Data Buffer Card up by 0x10 each loop, reading the first two bytes. So it reads RAM buffer addr 0x10, 0x11, 0x20, 0x21, etc.

There was a very crude directory at the start. I could believe that it it was 16 bytes per entry, and the first two were a file type. So it is searching for a file of type “Text Brush”. Other entries would be start and length. Can’t recall why cylinder 0 not used.
