David, We just spent an agonizing 2 weeks imagining how great it would be if our PAR board worked on our Lantastic 6.0 network with Pyros' PAROUT… I can now report that it works incredibly well, provided you do a few things: You cannot have the PARDRV assigned to any drive letter that is used LOCALLY on your file server(s). If your PAR is assigned to D: on your workstation, copying files from the network drive that is D: on your server will cause unspeakably strange things to happen to the copied files and funny colored blocks will fill your PAR screen… So, how do you avoid this "Overlapping Drives Syndrome"? Just use the DOS SUBST command to "fill up" the drive letters on your PAR workstation so that PARDRV is assigned to a higher drive letter than is in use locally on your server. My PARDRV loads as drive I:. With that your Lantastic and PAR will coexist happily forever after….:)… P.S. Our network is only "sorta" peer-to-peer — We usually only have one, dedicated machine setup as a server. –Donald
