I now know about the problem, but am hoping that someone can tell me about the fix. Apparently, there is a problem with some A3000T040s. If you get them up to 16mb of fast RAM, they get flakey. Bring them back down to 12mb, they work. I talked to another ex-C= person who told me about the problem, and found that removing four mb from a flakey A3000T040 here cured the flakiness. Unfortunately, my ex-C= buddy can't remember the fix, only the problem, and the guy most likely to know the fix is on vacation. I think it may have something to do with RAMSEY/DMAC revisions and that the flakiness mostly involved HD DMA. Does this sound at all familiar to anyone? By the way, to detect the problem, run DiskSpeed 4.2 on your HD. It sometimes works for an iteration or two, but I couldn't make it work for more than three. MBRTest-2 may show the problem, but I'm not sure on that one. — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing
