Does anybody have any experience with PC DITTO II for the st??? A friend has bought this but cant make it work. Sorry but I only talked to him for a minute and didnt get much of a description of the problem. I Know a little about IBM harware but nothing of ATARI. Are there the same concerns regarding interrupts, dma,etc. Any pointers you can give would be appreciated..... Thanks G. James

His problem is surely that the clip is not on properly. It needs to be *VERY* *VERY* tight - a sharp tug should not pull it off. The pins need to be VERY VERY DEAD LEVEL with each other. Use a ruler. Squint along the pins. A single pin out of alignment will cause the thing to fail. I was in your friend's situation for some time. I would not believe that this was the problem. But it is. I have never seen Ditto-2 fail for another reason. chris. > >Thanks >G.
