Does anyone know what this guru is? 8700000B.265F48F1 I can't seem to identify it in any of the guru translation/detection programs. By the way, the program that caused this guru was a file copying program. Reply to: jal@zeus.cs.wayne.edu Thanks in advance. P.S. Has anyone seen Pixar's latest feat, Tin Toy?

First, I have a Pacific Peripherals OverDrive and a Fuji 30 meg disk. This system is nice except for one minor (major!) flaw - FFS has problems with it. I would format a section and not be able to use it: executables would be corrupt and crash the disk. The solution was mentioned by jdow (thanks!)- use the MaxTransfer option to limit the controller to only grabing a block at a time. At first I tried limiting it to 2048 bytes (4 blocks) and I had problems booting up. After a random period of my bootup, Persephone (my Amiga) would give that GURU. I solved the problem by lowering the MaxTransfer rate WITHOUT disk munging. Try this first! BTW, MaxTransfer expects the maximum number of BYTES it can transfer, not BLOCKS as the documentation says. Good luck, - David ---- David King dsking@pyr.gatech.edu
