Larry: (I haven't seen your reply yet as I write this) I had a few extra minutes today, so I pulled out the A2000 with KS1.3 on it. Using the CBM A2091 adapter with 7.0 ROMs and the HDToolBox that came with the A2091 Installation Disk, I "simply" reformatted an MO disk suffering the two, default partitions. There was no hitch. I did a low- level format, gave the partitions new ID strings and saved as per the instructions. I was able to pull off high level formats without chokes. I entered only the maximum number of "unwarned" cylinders (3659) and turned off "Reselection." (The ICDPrepHD advises use of 3886 cylinders.) I let the other parameters up to the Almighty. You can guess what I'm gonna say. 😎 I took several large files and copied them from my Quantum boot HD over to the Fuji MO without incident. It isn't real quick, what with the 68000, but it worked! Ergo, I think I can eliminate the Fuji MO drive itself as the cause of the large-file- copy problem. It just did some!! ———— I then took the 1.3-formatted Fuji over to the A4000 intact. Even though it has the 1.3 FFS, it still works perfectly with the ICD Advantage 2000 adapter, the adsci.device library and the 4.21 ROM….. Until I try copying a large file from the IDE to the MO. As before, the computer gurus. 8-( ———— Please recall that my 44 Meg Syquest drive, when substituted for the Fuji (the cable is not the same) does permit copying over files of any size from the IDE to the Syquest (using the same ICDhost adapter and 4.21 software that crashes the computer with the Fuji!) So I can use the Syquest here but not the Fuji. On the A2000, I can use either. ———— Does that allow you to figure what I'm doing wrong yet? 😎 If not, what's my next test? Thanks. Regards Tom (via Whap!)
