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
