On their setup floppys, they have two unit entries, one with Disable_IRQ
and one with NoDiable_IRQ, but unfortunately the Disable_IRQ example is the
FIRST on, and the one *I* used without much modification. That is what caused
my problem. But once discovered, it *WAS* easially corrected.
Why have the option? Well, with Disable_IRQ set, the hard drive works
faster. A Seagate SCSI drive on my computer with the Kronos was about the same
speed as a similar Seagate SCSI drive on a friend's HardFrame. With
NoDisable_IRQ, it was just a little slower. With the option to set it, you can
have different hard drives, or different PARTITIONS of a single hard drive, set
up for "safe" use of telecommunications, or for speed.
I don't know what the "problem" between you and Ron is, but since it *IS*
discussed in the manual, I can hardly believe that he has "…been instructed
by C Ltd. to not mention it."
