I am trying to use FTP's InterDrive with MS Windows 3.0. The problem is that a "Cant read from device" appears and the machine reboots ! Under Windows 2.0 it works fine. I have tried all the modes (/r, /s, and /3). Maybe there is some problem with the packet driver (NE1000) ? -- Peter Fassberg Internet: pf@leissner.se Leissner Data AB UUCP: ...!uunet!leissner.se!pf P.O. Box 912 S-461 29 TROLLHATTAN SWEDEN

A couple issues: 1 - Load order is very important. PC/TCP cannot access an external driver (such as a packet driver or NDIS driver) from within Window. When you are using such a driver, you must load the kernel before you load windows. 2 - Are you using version 7 of the Clarkson packet driver? If not, you will have problems with Windows moving code, and calls being lost. Version 7 with the -w switch fixes this problem by keeping track of where calls come from. 3 - Currently, PC/TCP works only in Real Mode, and you will need to use that switch. By the end of the year, we will also be working in Extended Mode, with multiple application usable simultaneously. Good luck! If you have any further questions, you can contact me at info@ftp.com.

We currently work in all modes, but only in real memory. I apologize for the confusion! :-) Frances Kirk Selkirk info@ftp.com (617) 246-0900 FTP Software, Inc. 26 Princess Street, Wakefield, MA 01880
