I have a question for those with Hardframe controllers. Lately, I've been getting increasing notices of R/W errors on a partition that gets a lot of action on it (writing, deleting, moving, ect). A friend of mine also seems to have this problem with his BBS system that uses the Hardframe controller. Both of us are using Quantum drives (80Meg and 105Meg). He also noted that he's used his Trumpcard for over 6 months, including running his BBS on it for two of those months with NO problems. First, has anybody else had a problem with R/W errors on their harddrives/Hardframe combo? Also, has the Hardframe driver/software changed (I've got the Setup Software v1.55 disk). Thinking I could change the MaxTransfer in the Mountlist file, I just noticed that nowhere in my mountlist is there any entry for the harddrive. Oh well… This problem isn't a big deal for me. However, for my friend who runs a BBS, it is a big deal. The r/w error requesters pop up and tie his system waiting for a response. He just began using a program that selects "Cancel" automatically. He'd prefer NOT having R/W errors at all, especially after just getting his BBS up with his new 105Meg Quantum. Any reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dan McCoy
