- You didn't mention your hard drive type, but I would hazard to guess
- that you have a non-SCSI, non? There is a known problem with the
- drivers that acts like what you have described. I had the same
- problem. Regretably, my notes on how to solve this are at home.
- You might try ftp'ing to software.watson.ibm.com and perusing the
- fixes there. The problem involves the IBM1S506 driver, if I recall.
- I'll try to remember to bring the fax with the procedure in to the
- office tomorrow (7/22). If you get no joy from the ftp server, EMail
- me and I will send you the fix procedure. You might even want to try
- calling IBM. They provided this fix to me in the first place. After
- all, you get technical support free for a while...
-
- Good luck.
