Weellll???…..I don't know what is happening right now in terms of the
driver that was released here (HD34_4), but when I changed back to the older
driver, the crashes and wierd behaviour stopped! (to the best of my knowledge
right now)
I don't use very esoteric software, am an EE and MSCS, so I think I have a
basici c grip on what to do at startup (setting stack, properly setting up
background tasks, etc.) The specific piece of software I was running into the
most trouble with is DISK MECHANIC by Lake Forest Logic. Eric(k) from Lake
Forest has been as helpful as could be expected considering I am in Seattle
and LFL is in Illin ois. His sugesstion was to change back to the older
driver and indeed that did help, but it's too early to tell whether it cured
the situation. He's also checking with C= to see what they did to the new
driver's structure vis-a-vis his software.
Other than that, I have run into wierd copying problems like LOSING entire
directories doing a COPY A// (COPY DH0: DH1: ALL {Quiet}) which should show
NO problems at ANY time….I dont(sic) get into multu/i-tasking so I would
guess
no problem there….any other Ideas would be appreciated….Thanks,
Griffith
