#PAR restore problem
7 messages in this thread
Hello Brick,
Just to report that my system also exhibits the "can't restore a long
animation" problem. I tried copying a 1000+ frame ANI to HD and back, and
everything after frame 896 was zapped.
I've got the 1Gig Micropolis drive on the PAR, v 1.30b. The PAR is in a
Gateway P5-66 (Intel motherboard), 36Meg ram, ATVISTA-4M, ATI-AX0 video, Qlogic
PCI SCSI controller, NEC 3Xi CD, Artisoft Noderunner w/ Lantastic 5.0, Diaquest
50P, DOS 6.2

John,
I understood from the DPS-people that they have been able to duplicate/simulate
the 896-frame/restore-problem on their own system and the softwarepeople are
working on it. There will be a solution soon
Sorry to jump in this way, but i thought you would like to know
CIAO FOR NOW
Theo
Glad to know
Thanks for "jumping in", that's what makes this forum so interesting. I'd
heard that they were working on it, so I was hoping my particular hardware
configuration might help with the quest. Even with problems like this, the PAR
has greatly improved life on this planet, don't you think?

Indeed the PAR has made life better for all..
In fact, will someone please either put me out of my misery or sell me one
cheap?

John:
I have essentially the same hardware as you do and I DO NOT have the frame
>896 problem. I am using a Gateway P5-60, Micropolis 2217A PAR drive, SCSI DOS
hard drive.
PAR software:
PAR initializer V1.13
PAR.HEX V1.10
PARDRV V1.4
PAR.EXE V1.09
I use DOS to move files back and forth. I'm still using v1.09
drivers 'cause I know where most of the spike filled pits are. You
might want to try the older drivers and see if the problem is there.
>>use older PAR drivers…
That might help to see if the problem was with the new software only. If so,
that might be an easy temporary fix – use the old software to backup and
restore and use the newer to operate.
