Thanks for your help.
Gus' comment about
>>"More likely, you have some program trashing system memory."
messing things up made me think about this further, and……..
I hate to admit this, but I think it was my own st.. st.. stu.. stupidity.
It's not hard to say, but hard to admit in front of the forum. I had been
swapping out two identical hard disks between two different systems. One had
two hard disks, and the other only had one. I didn't have a jumper on either
one that said "I am the Master, the other is the slave", but it had no jumpers
at all which by what my documentation says is "I am the Master", and who know
what it thinks about the slave. The slave was jumpered as a slave.
So I am guessing that, as Gus said, "something was trashing memory" and I
believe that something was a missing jumper causing it to try to read both
Drives at once.
Does that sound logical/possible?
Anyway, I appreciate your help and Gus' help on this.
Now that I have the jumper in place, it seems to be working without a problem.
Thanks again,
Dennis
