We had similar problems to James and you. We got a new PAR board and everything seemed to be solved. We were able to import, duplicate, join etc. No problems, no complaints and wow what a perfect product when it works…………… But after a few days we got a new problem: now the software won't start up; Partest complains about a controller handshake problem. This time everything indicated Disk problems as opposed to the PAR controller. We checked it out by connecting our disk to a customer's PAR (with his drive cable to exclude that factor) and indeed: same problem. So we will try to get a new disk this time, but it seems weird that we started with a faulty PAR board and now seem to have a faulty disk. What's going on ? Could there be some problem with the PAL version which exceeds some limits in the PAR to Disk interface ?? Just guessing.
