Several of us are using the LogiKhron clock module that plugs into the cartridge port of the ST. We've been quite happy with them for several months, BUT: we've just connected Supra 20 meg hard drives. I seem to remember, many months ago, comments about the LogiKhron creating problems when a hard drive is used. Can someone refresh my memory on this point? Is it still felt that LogiKhron clock modules and hard drives do not get along? Bob Menton KG3J MENTON@NRL-ACOUSTICS "You know better than to trust a strange computer." ------

All seem to sing in perfect harmony. There IS a particular AUTO folder sequence that must be observed, though. If I can remember correctly, the time setting function must be in the hard drive folder so that no disk driver initialization activities are going on while the time function is being set-up. (i.e. Driver for hard disk not usable until initialization complete - it then gets the C:AUTO\files - This was deduced thru observation rather than from documentation or hard facts. Any comments?). B2
