Hello,
I am attempting to run an inventory control program sold by the
Real World Company on a Bernoulli Box attached to an IBM PC/AT.
Unfortunately, I occasionally get a "SETBLOCK FAILED" error message
when I run this application or else the system crashes.
I contacted the customer service depts. at both IOMEGA (the
manufacturers of the Bernoulli Box) and Real World Company and BOTH
deny that the "SETBLOCK FAILED" Error message is associated with their
software and/or hardware. I am able to run a dBASE III Plus
application program off of the Bernoulli Box with no problem.
I ran the IOMEGA diagnostic program (version 6.21) which showed that
the status of the adapter board and add-on driver was OK--there was
an error message for the boot ROM (this is not surprising since
I did not format the 20 Mb Bernoulli Cartridge to be bootable).
Any suggestions or comments on this problem would be appreciated.
Since I do not get to read this newsgroup that often, please reply to
either

If there is sufficient interest, I'll post a sumary of the responses.
