Don, Thanks for the reply but from day 1 I have been using the Power Supply drive plugs not the buss power. I just received V1.9 Rom and software from Microbotics but no change. I still think it is a DMA speed problem because I've measured the Voltages on the Ram card with a digital meter and got 4.9Volts DC right on the Ram chips (should be close enough to 5.0V) All I have in the expansion slots is the HardFrame and the A2052. Perhaps some of the memory or buffer chips can't handle the DMA speed ?? Have you heard of a "U605 Patch" for Rev 4.5 and less mother boards ( I have Rev 4.2) supposed to be expansion slot fix for Hard disk controllers. Any way looks like I'm going to replace the A2052 I've been looking at the Microbotics 8-UP Simm board do you have any suggestions ( I would like to get a board that uses Simms not DIPS to slow up obsillecense (any body want to by 64 256k*1 chips cheap ;^) . Maybe I should trade in the HardFrame and get a GVP Series II with ram; who knows !! Thanks for the help Michael Maryka 72321,3504
