Hi, I just bought an A4000/040 and am absolutely frustrated. After several years of having a 100% stable A2000/68030 system, this thing is like a nightmare. I cannot keep it running for 10 minutes without a crash of some kind. Even deleting files with DirOpus crashed on me. I have not followed any A4000 threads, so if this is atypical, please let me know. Perhaps I have other hardware incompatibilities, I just don't know. If anyone has a clue, I'd really appreciate it. Here is what I have: A4000/040 25MHz 2 megs chip ram 12 megs 80ns fast ram Seagate 120meg IDE hard drive Maxtor 7213S SCSI hard drive IVS Trumpcard Pro SCSI controller AmigaDOS 3.0 That's it. Software that crashes includes DLG Pro 1.0 (I have the latest update which patches the copyback problems), DLGMail, DirOpus v4.11. I haven't even gotten to try my other software yet. I spent all day tracking these down. Generally, it seems like my problem is with the SCSI controller. It only seems to crash when accessing a file off the SCSI and not the IDE. This is a pretty old board, perhaps the driver software/rom needs updating? Does anyone know the current status of IVS and what the latest version numbers are for the software? Also, does IVS have a bulletin board? I could use the number. I called the fax line and a woman answered (this was late at night, too). Thanks for any help!! David Czaya …via AutoPilot 73445,407
