Control buttons on a A2000 look fine here, even without the A2000icons.lha,
but then again I did manage to borrow a Toaster 4.00 CDROM. Perhaps the
new icons would explain why some of them don't always work as expected!

Right about the calibration, but can't answer about the audio drive yet -
still waiting for mine. I think that Flyer handles audio in much the same
way as A/B roll, it needs to layoff the audio clip to that second drive
for input along side concurant video.

Flyer SCSI seems to be a little fussy, I have drives that lockup or are
not recognised - maybe it a SCSI 1/SCSI 2 thing. I would suggest
re-formatting if possible. SCSIMounter will poll the buss (with flyerscsi.
device as the device) but only on `A' buss - I don't know how to change that
setting. I would not use SCSIMounter to mount the drives.

I have experienced problems saving framestores to a partition on the
`system' drive - the partition is un-validated.

Remember the old days when tech support was an 800 number available for
extended hours of the day?

Have a good day - cheers Ian
