Michael, The "pin 6 fix" was never an official one from C= as far as I know. Scott Drysdale posted it in a public message section on another network while he was working for C=. I made the modification to my A2286, but don't recall the exact details. I'll get them to you if I can locate them, but in the meantime, perhaps somebody else will be able to locate them faster. 8) It involves lifting pin 6 of a socketed chip out of the socket, and connecting a jumper from it to another location. The mod didn't seem to harm my situation, but since I have other problems using AREAD/AWRITE, I can't tell how much good that it did, either. David

David, Did you ever try my "fix" for the AREAD/AWRITE problem? Don

Don, I implemented your fix last week, just after I received the new Janus software. I still haven't gotten the new software completely setup apparently, since the system doesn't seem to be able to find DOSServ (or MouseServ) even though they're where the installer program put them. (Just in the process of tracking this down – I haven't had a lot of time to tinker recently, and have to work on it when I have time available.) After that gets solved, I'm hoping that your fix will work, and that I'll finally be able to use ARead/AWrite effectively. David
