- I'm at Wolverhampton Uni, the computers on the Walsall campus
- are really old 386s with severely dodgy drives, even the mice
- haven`t been cleaned since they were installed a decade ago!
-
- I have been thru' a load of disks which get all sorts of CRC
- errors on them, it is a seriously crap setup.
-
- BTW: Check your CrossDOS settings that it is not set at "Text
- Filtering/Translation"

- Is this O3O card a 1230-IV and your drive a Maverick ?, if it is
- then that is just the beginning of your problems :(

- Yes sounds like MaxFer, change it to smth. like 0xffffff, if the
- problem still persists removing one "f" at a time, try again
- until the problem is resolved.
