Subject:Re: Crashed again

Hello Roger,

I did as you suggested and changed the filesystem to l:fastfilesystem. It
was plain fastfilesystem before. I have had a couple of crashes truing to
play a midi song since without messing up the bootblock again, so maybe it
worked. I don't understand why I can't play a midi song over my computer
while I am online anymore. It used to work just fine. That's why I bought a
pcm modem for my 1200 030 40 mghz computer. It's not a ppc, just an
ordinary 1200 with an Apollo 030 in it. My hard drive is a total of 4 gigs
with 6 partitions on it so I could have an extra partition for cashes and
downloads separate from my online programs. They are on DH1: and the other
files are on DHa1:
