I've about had it with the unreliabililty of the PAR. I've sent my board back and was told there was no problem with it; I exchanged my drive (even after Micropolis told me there was nothing wrong with the drive). I've reformated, optimized, lowered my block limit and everything else that has been suggested by everyone. There is something flaky in the PAR system. Often, but not everytime, when I join two .ani's together, one or more frame will appear with a white grid across the entire frame. Sometimes I can just delete the new "joined" animation and do the join procedure again and the resultant new animation will be fine. I just deleted a frame from an animation — which worked fine. Then I deleted another frame and now several frames in the animation have the white grid, the new animation is ruined. I haven't bothered to report all these problems I have been experiencing because I get tired of being told that I am the only person in the history of the universe to have reported such problems. Or being told by DPS that the drive is definately to blame — and the drive people insisting the opposite. I want this fixed. As it stands now, the PAR is so unreliable that I cannot depend upon it. P.S. I'm using 1.30b and I've never had my drive more than half full.
