[comp.sys.mac.misc] Virtual

I am posting this on behalf of a friend whose news feed is currently broken.
Please email reponses direct to him at ralph@cm.cf.ac.uk.

 I am having some problems with the combination of 6.0.5 and Virtual 2.0, on
 Rodime Cobra disks. I believe there's a newer version of Virtual, 2.0.2.
 (I have virtual for a Mac II with PMMU).
 Does anyone out there know what it does differently to 2.0?
 And has anyone out there recently purchased a Rodime Cobra drive? It might
 also be worth me giving a shot at upgrading the Cobra driver.
 If anyone else has had similar problems, let me know. Symptoms are various
 crashed low level disk structures, often preceeded by a "sawing" noise
 coming from the disk....

I'm not sure what's wrong with the virtual and the sawing noise etc, but...
I have the newest Virtual for Mac II (2.03) and System 6.0.5 and I have
had no problems with it so far (I'm using a Rodime 140 internal).  You 
may want to call connectix.  They may give you a free update.
