I posted earlier about having problems with my 1541. It just kept on spinning and never stopped when I turned it on. Well, with the help of a kind person on the net I found the bad chip that was the culprit. It has this number on it 901229-05 Where can I get another one? Thanks in advance! -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Halsema halsema@mentor.cc.purdue.edu
