Larry:
I bought PopCLI several years ago and it crashed the machine with such
disgusting regularity that I pulled it from the startup sequence and never ran
it again.
Actually, there was another CLI running (just forgot about it) and
until I started having problems with the B-2K I always had Roy's RLSClock
running.
By the way, I formatted my Rodime RO-652 on the A1K (C-LTD) without
problem. Then did the high level format on the B2K (also without problem).
However, even though I copied about 5 MEg of data to the Rodime without any
problems, as soon as I tried to use Draw Plus I received errors. Ever hear of
anything like that?
I also tried (an am trying right now) to run diskperfa on that same
drive. It runs fine on the ST-225 though the 'blinding speed' won't really
excite anyone (39,718/sec rd and 10,613/sec wrt). Of course compared to DF0:
at 8538/sec and 3467/sec it looks pretty good. However, when trying to run the
same program on DH2: it insists on doing the directory checks on df0:. Have no
idea of what the problem is. Nothing is assigned to df0: and none of the paths
reference df0:. Any ideas?
A very happy new year to you Larry. I enjoyed spending this past year
with you and all of the SYSOPs here on the Amiga Forum, bill
