I just downloaded HD34.4 and it has not helped my problem at all.  I have
an A2090, an ST251N (SCSI) drive a rev 4.1 mother board and no extra
memory in my 2000.  DPaint still gets an error every time it accesses the
disk when in 640x200 or 640x400 mode.

I have had continuing problems with the 2090 and a SCSI drive.  I had been
running the 2090 with a ST-506 type drive with no problems.  Then I went and
bought a Jasmine MegaDrive designed for the Mac.  The Jasmine drive formats
just fine and I can write to the disk with absolutely no errors.  In fact, I
only get errors while reading from the drive.  While reading I frequently
encounter read/write errors.  I have tried everything to eliminate this problem
and have met with no success.  HELP!  If anyone has any suggestions, please let
me know.
