I recently purchased a Connor 200MB drive model 3204. I bought an Everex IDE card to go with it, model EV-8120-01. Since then I have had some problems. First, none of my disk caching software will work properly with the drive. The drive is always slower after loading the cache. Second, I occasionally get an error reading drive C (the Connor) if I'm running a disk intensive program. When I press 'r' for 'Retry' after the error, the operation continues fine. Very intermittent. Third, I understand from a friend, that disk de-fragmenting software (like Norton's) can damage the cache of the Connor drive. I haven't been able to contact Connor about this last one. Does anyone out there have sugggestions or familiarity with the above problems? Any help would be appreciated. E-mail is fine. BTW, I'm using Compaq DOS 3.31. Thanks in advance, Gordon
