One of the many problems I have had recently has been the GS freezing up whenever I either go to the control panel(NDA) sound CDEV and try to change the volume or if I try to update my System. So, I basically want to start from scratch and remove everything in my System folder. Tools,etc...Can this be done without using an Installer, as I've noticed a Cdev.data file, which is created by the Installer I guess, and this file may or may not change if I install things manually. Furthermore, the Installer on the System disks does not break items done by type(eg. a Cdev, a Tool,etc...), and of course I can't boot the GS from the System disk(since it doesn't have the DMA drivers). It's gotten out of hand. I no longer know what is causing crashes, programs no longer working- my TWGS or the GS. By the way, even if I boot the GS from a boot disk(other than the HD) on which I have installed the HD driver, I still get that problem with the sound Cdev. Now, the Audio Animator is in slot 6( set to my card), the GS+ Ram in 6, the SCSI card in 7, and the TWGS is in 3. The only setting not set to my card is slot 2, the modem, 5 the smart port, and 7 is scan. Philip McDunnough University of Toronto philip@utstat.toronto.edu [my opinions] .

I've got a similar setup, and was experiencing similar problems 'till I snugged up the oscilator on the TWGS and moved it to slot 3. You might want to try that (moving it to 4 in your case). How do you have your DMA SCSI card configured? And does your GS-Ram+ support DMA (or the TWGS for that matter), you know, of course, that you need the latest versions of each.
