(this was two years ago) I finally discovered that if the machine was quiet for a couple of days, the drive would come back to life. Really sucked. When I told them about it, They were rather amazed that it existed, but had no plans to try and fix it. Fortunately, I left that company, and now run an ISC box, that works quite realiably. - they now have a bbs running so you can download new drivers Any more information about this BBS, short of my trying to call Archive. (I really hate trying to call there, since I almost always get offered a call back, which I miss, etc.. ) -- Eric Schnoebelen eric@cirr.com schnoebe@convex.com C Code. C Code Run. Run, Code, RUN!
