Kevin, I agree with you; I think the hard disk vs. 3DS is suspect. Here's more info, if in case you have a hint what's going on. A few months ago I bought a 1.2 gB Maxtor drive with a CSC Fastcache 64 controller. It seems alot of demanding users like the drive and controller, which on their systems – and otherwise mine – works reliably. I have 4 mB on the controller and 32 mB of RAM on my Micronics motherboard. I run alot of programs such using Windows and animation software such as TOPAS, Crystal, Animator Pro, QFX, etc. I don't have any problems with any other programs. (I review software for about a dozen magazines) So, Maxtor and everyone else logically point to 3DS as the culprit. I've futzed with as many dip switches on the controller, changed addresses, removed other boards, booted without autoexec.bat and config.sys, made major changes to both, modified QEMM settings, and still no change. With this info 3DS tech support are at a loss, and in the meantime I'm crippled. Got any ideas? Thanks. -Gregory MacNicol
