[comp.sys.apple] GS Problems/AppleLink Problems!

DMG4449@RITVAX.BITNET (11/17/88)

I have finally escalated to the ranks of an Apple //gs, and I am having
a very annoying problem:

I have an Apple 3.5" drive and a cheapo 5 1/4 Meiji drive with GS connector
that hooks into the smartport.  Occasionally, when I try to access my 3.5",
both my 3.5" and 5 1/4" start spinning and lock up.  I press reset and
then it no longer recognizes the 3.5" drive.  I've tried setting the
control panel to "your card" for the slot 6 to disable the 5 1/4" but it
still doesnt work.  I have to power off and on again in order to use my
3.5" again.  Is there a solution to this problem?  or at least a way I
can use the 3.5" w/o cold booting- its a real annoying pain

Also, on a somewhat unrelated topic:

Has anyone with
                a US Robotics Courier HST been able to
connect with applelink?  They were of no help getting me set up


Thanks in advance,
Daniel
