Craig: When I got my Xetec, I had to change the Operating System jumper for
ROM version 1.3. They were shipping with the default set for 1.2. I would
assume they've changed that, but you might check. Also, did you run the
Make Auto-Boot utility in the Xetec utilities drawer? If you change your
power source jumpers, be VERY VERY careful that you get these exactly as
shown in the manual. Otherwise you could buck the two power supplies with
disasterous results. As far as HD utilities go, I use the Xetec X-Chive for
backups. It's not as fancy as some of the commercial back up programs, but
it's reliable and it's free (you should have it in your Xetec utilities
drawer). As far as HD optimizers go, I just picked up the shareware
"Optimi.lzh" and find it useful. Kind of slow, but again effective and
reliable. Don't forget to send the guy the $$$ if you like and use it. I
can tolerate slow on these types of utilities if I know they're solid. I
used a PD HD backup utility that came on an Amiga+ disk a couple of years
ago, and I never could recover the data. Very frustating. Hang in –
you'll get it. George
