- I had the exact same setup at one time (A2000 GVP 40Mhz 030, Picasso II,
- and A2091). Only I had my A2091 pushing a 5 Gig 8mm Tape unit. Separating
- the 8mm Tape unit gave me much better I/O and lower CPU loading.

- Any memory on the A2091? If my memory serves me....(I am getting old) I
- had to play with placement of the cards into my system. I remember that the
- Picasso II board had to be just after any memory cards (i.e. A2091) in the
- second Zorro II slot (The first Zorro II slot is in the middle of the A2000)
- in order for it to work. Your system act differently, try moving your boards
- around....That should fix the problem.

-
- Downloading? As in downloading from modem to Hard drive? Or as in copying
- a file onto the drive (no modem involved)?
