>> For your efforts I could repay you by detonating a small tactical thermonuclear device in the proximity of John Ellis My gosh that thread must have had the whole world rolling in laughter. I hope nobody ever takes the fun and games John and I do for serious. We just get punchy between jobs I guess. When things get busy around here I tend to get serious. I will say one thing though You could probably achieve the same results by sending John a copy of Rush Limbaugh's book. <BG> But don't do it on my account, John's OK in my book, he bailed me out of a real jam once with his targa name utilities. Good tools to have around if you're a Diaquest user. As far as the installation is concerned, there were two problems I encountered. You might not ever have the problem depending on your situation. I spoke to Gus earlier this evening and he put the problem in perspective for me. Here goes: 1. If you must use other than the default I/O port you will discover that the manual is backwards on page 19 showing the dip switches if you reverse the order to 4321 the chart will comply. 2. If you use a larger than 540 meg HD there will be an extra step to format the drive that is not in the installation manual. I called DPS tech support and their tech walked me through it in 2 minutes. As soon as I told him I was using the Mic 2210A drive he knew exactly what the problem was. Other people may find other problems but for me this was all it took to get everything to work better than I even expected. BTW I've had the PAR drive loaded with a repeating animation for six hours now and it keeps running without choking except for the T-cal every 12 minutes.
