Tony, I haven't spoken with you on the phone lately, but I am still having a problem with the size of the animations I can output from my PAR drive. As you might recall, I purchased a Microplis 2217a 1.6 gig drive. I've read messages from Brick Ecksten that say I should be able to get upto 15 minutes of animation off this drive. I have (2) files on the PAR drive. One is 3143 blocks the other is 89 blocks. The larger animation runs fine and I am able to output it to tape. However, the smaller animation breaks up considerably during playback at full speed (30 fps) but is fine at slow speed (15fps). This problem has occurred on several occassions and really hasn't been much of a problem untill now. I think I should be able to get more than 1:40 seconds of animation of this drive. Since I have already replaced the PAR board once, I suspect that the drive may be damaged. Any thoughts or comments? Ed Banta
