8x! I'm sick as a parrot... ;))

Hmmm.. I haven't delved too deeply into MCPs finer points - damn thing
has a habit of crashing when I change things :(

The problem has been solved, by that wonderful all-round good bloke,
Kev :-)
It was highly technical, too - you hit the space bar to get a 31kHz screen!!

It's sorted now, I disabled everything bar the controller and the HD,
and it runs up fine. The new HD sounds like a jet starting up, damn
impressive! ;)
Oh yes, the benefits of PFS - I booted up this evening, and thought
I'd shovel the pix I'd taken at The Dome last week into another
directory. BANG! Something caused a crash, on the one partition I
haven't yet converted to PFS, and it's taken me three hours to
retrieve the Hard drive, including re-writing the RDB and running
QBTools over it twice. This was once I'd unplugged and retrieved my
old 1960 monitor from my sons room so as to get a picture!
Still, I didn't lose any data, but that damn partition is going onto
CD at the first opportunity, and then converted to PFS3!
