[comp.sys.amiga] A2000 and parking on a Miniscribe hard drive

steve@tic.UUCP (Steve Drake) (12/30/87)

  The self parking feature of the Miniscribe hard drive results in
read/write error requestors from amigados.  Is there anyone who knows
of a fix for this type of hard drive problem.  
  Please send replies to:

I have been using a 2090 with miniscribe 8425 and auto park for several
months with 0 errors. What is your exact configuration? Sounds more like
you have the old driver which had problems with 4 bit plane screens. The
new driver was posted to bix and I think compuserve.
