Many thanks to all those that replied to posting about zoo crashing when I unzooed from my supra hardrive. The problem was finally traced down to the version of supra software I was running. Supra has a new version 5.3 of the software which fixes a problem with reads on odd byte boundaries. I was running version 5.1 of their software. Also of interest, supra had a readme file in the file that says: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Supra 5.3 Amiga software driver update. This software update corrects the problem with QuarterBack. The problem was due to odd byte boundary read. You will need to rename the files from .DEV to .DEVICE. SUPRA NEWS: New A500 1.3 autoboot interface!!!! This interface will be available January 1, 1989. Current Supra A500 owners can upgrade by sending in their current interface and $50. Please call for a Return Authorization number (RMA) before returning your interface. NEW Supra Format Series II!!!! This is a total rewrite of Supra Format and the drivers. The new software will be available Febuary 1, 1989. The new software will allow greater flexability of the format procedure. - Boot from any partition, old or FastFileSystem - Specify if a partition will be mounted or skipped by SupraMount - Modify the drive's name and device ID - Support a greater number of hard drives - Hard drive system flags can be modified without reformatting ------------------------------------------------------------------ I am not associated with supra in any way except as a satisfied customer.
