I am stuck, I just installed my PAR and dedicated drive, everything seems to boot up O.K. except that when I go to run PAR from dos I get a message saying 'general error'. I installed the PAR software that came in the box VER 1.09 I also downloaded version 134B from the DPS BBS. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, I can access the PAR drive from dos but that is about it. Thanks Again, Paul Boyd

Paul: I'm not in front of my PAR (It's Saturday, as you know), so I may be of marginal help today. As a general rule. I try to minimize conflicts when installing new equipment. That means checking for I/O and IRQ conflicts. I suspect you have such a conflict. In any case, if you still are having problems, give me a call on my pager (229-7863).

Paul Don't forget to format the PAR drive with the -format command. There are some switches to be set, but I can't remember so maybe someone else will jump in. Sorry for being so basic if you've already done this. TedB !^NavFont01F0007MGHHGB3133D
