I didn't observe the "blinking" (under normal room lighting) until I started dumping to a laser printer's buffer (much faster data xfer?) instead of a dot matrix. Since, I've observed the same effect with transfers to the dot matrix printer – just much fainter (have to darken the room). I haven't been able to see any blinking doing any/all of these things with my trusty old A1000 (of course it has a different drive mechanism — and a different "drive light"). Continuing my compulsive investigation — I have noted that the A2000's df0: drive light blinks (very faintly) at a regular rate even with the system "idling" (probably checking for diskchange?). The blinks are so dim that they can't be seen under normal lighting and occur at two different rates: every 2.3 seconds (approx.) with no disk in df0:, and every 180 milliseconds (approx.) with a disk in df0:. Everything works OK including copies from df0: to par: — it just BUGs me! Thanks for your response. If I come up with an answer — will post it. REC ——
