[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Problem with Bernoulli Box Application Program

roy@elbereth.rutgers.edu (Herbert Roy) (03/11/91)

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 program or the program crashes.

    I contacted the customer service department at Real World and
IOMEGA (the manufacturers of the Bernoulli Box) and was told that the
"SETBLOCK FAILED" error message does not come from their software
and/or hardware.  I ran the IOMEGA diagnostic program (version 6.21)
which showed the status of the adapter board and add-on driver to be
OK--there were "ERRORS" 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

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