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
