Steve, I did save the mountlist that FaaastPrep V1.98 (Apr 22 1991) created for me. This was before I installed CrossDOS 6. It appears that the regular format utility on the system drawer will work. The low level format on the FaaastPrep corrupted my second blank. Anyway, after I formatted another blank with the FFS DC system, (I formatted the first one with just FFS, no Directory Cache), I copied a 925991 byte lha file to it and tested it with lha t <file>. That test came out fine. I have the following lines in my user-startup: assign GFU: Work:GF030/Utilities GFU:GvpCpuCtrl FASTROM MOVESSP run >nil: GFU:GVPScsiCtrl -s run >nil: Work:Util/memutil/enf/Enforcer |nil: quiet lock sys: on assign Pagesetter: Work2:Pagesetter assign Ind: Work:Telecom/AP/Ind assign ds_fsi: Work2:DistantSuns/afE:GLMAC My Quantum drives are 50 MB (the original one that came on the Amiga 2000HD package on an A2091) and the 100 MB on the GVP G-Force 030 (25 MHZ MMU on). The ZIP drive is slower than the Quantum; consequently, perhaps your system is 'choking' the ZIP drive? CrossDOS may also be getting in the way if it is Version 6. It's fine if CrossDOS can 'take over' and treat it as a regular FAT system, but that loses the Amiga filesystem use. Were you running anything else? I even turned off the Amiga screen blanker. Although I haven't done extensive testing with large files, the transfers seem fine. If you want to send me one that is giving you trouble, I'll try it. At least you got it working on the other platforms! Sincerely, 26-Oct-95 at 12:06a (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless Perfessor Fearless from the Rocket City!
