Hello Tony, I don't think I caught this thread from the start, but I just bought a PAR & 2210A drive and can't get it to work at all. I get the message "Hardware failure. Check drive." Also, when I run the PAR test program when I get to the Reset IDE interface part, it waits quite a while then says "Super-8 time out error – Last transmitted command = 6" Is this indicative of the Micropolis drive problem? -Steve

Tony, Did you do configure the drive as a master with no slave? I believe also there are a few jumpers that you have to pull. Give DPS a call if that is the case, the tech support is great! Joe Maulucci >>> Accadia Electronic Arts DTV & DTP BBS FidoNET & Amiga/IBM Store On-Line call 1-716-882-1774

Thanks for the tip but the problems are beyond master/slave jumpers, plus I only testing one drive at a time with the par. Tony Butterfield
