Dear SuperTech – — Symptoms – While heavy disk use of my second newly installed drive, such as copying from the original drive or rendering with use of bitmaps and storing of animations : (Extremely frequent !) RECEIVE>> gvpscsi.device : unit 003 Unexpected Status $40/$00 RESUME RECEIVE>> Work has read error Work is a partition on original drive on disk block 120737 RETRY RECEIVE>> Wk2 has write error Wk2 is new drive (one partition) on disk block 1082600 RETRY Continues on its merry way Obviously, or not, the block numbers will change based on when the occurence is.

The most interesting phenomena was in the EXPERTPREP. I could not enter 1658 for # of cylinders even though the documentation for the Fujitsu drive indicates that 1658 is the correct number. The EXPERTPREP forced this number to be 1652. HHHHHEEEEELLLPPPP ! Sincerely yours, Art Reed
