>> I know. I've had a nine-inch fan blowing directly on the drive since I >> started using it and I've had continual crashes. Alec, Well, like I said before I don't know why I have been so lucky. (Crossing my fingers) But my PAR has not crashed once in the almost 5 months that I've had it. Right now I'd be really sad if it did, as I don't have a backup. 🙁 My very next purchase is going to be a DAT drive. Anyway, maybe you just received a defective drive. I keep my block limit pretty low also (220). I tried using 240 per DonL but ran into some animations getting corrupted. With 220 I don't have any problems. I feel for you though. Losing stuff sucks. Especially if it was long render time stuff. On that note, I just found out that doing large LenZFX Aura's on a 486/66 is not a good idea. <g> I was up to 3 hr's per frame for a lousy glow. I sure hope an Alpha system is within my budget come fall. So, how's business in the forensic market? See ya. DM
