The problems I have had in the past with this early rev scsi chip have been rather intermitent (sp?) as I have added things. Inside the 3000 I have 2 HDs, then I added an NEC CDR-80 in an external chassis, then a MCD-40 tape drive, then a big Siemens HD. The CDrom drive is the flakiest at that point, not always reading or recognizing that a disc was inserted properly. I lived with all that until I decided to move my film recorder to the Amiga and HDs weren't writting good files, cd refused to acknowledge discs, and the FR locked up alot. There is a readme with the Cinelink package (FR driver by Active Circuits) that tells of trouble with the chip I have, and I saw a post to the same effect go by on internet so I am under the impression that this scsi chip needs to be replaced. Agreed? Thanks. // \X/ -BiL-
