I have a Kronos autoboot controller and a C Ltd. 48 meg hard drive that recently crashed. I've salvaged the drive and low-level formatted it, DOS formatted and restored all of the salvaged files. However, I'm running into a problem I had when I first bought the drive: whenever I have running through the SERial port and to the drive at the same time, SERial communications burps. That is, a little garbage appears on the port. Needless to say, this really cuts into UP/DOWnloading time. I remember that Ed Lippert at C Ltd. had a quick fix for the problem (it had something to do with allowing an IRQ (interupt request) somewhere in the driver software. I'd be very much obliged to anyone who knows a bit about the Kronos system, if they could help me out here. Roger
