- 1.1.1 is the latest version. It just adds support for more mechanisms,
- nothing more than that (as far as I can tell).

-
- I've been running HDT since last November without any problems. We
- have it installed on our server drives (running Sys 7 & Appleshare
- 3.0) and no problems with that.

- Did you reinstall from the same set of system install disks each time?
-
- If you did, the disk set might be the problem (garbage getting installed).

-
- I would suspect the software, if the installs were all done with the
- same set of disks.
-
- If the above isn't true, then run the HDT tests on your drive to check
- that out. If the drive passes, open up the cx, and remove and reseat
- the SIMMs. I had no end of problems until I did that on my SE/30.
- Also, check the speed of the chips on each SIMM. It should be in the
- range of 100 NS (indicated by a -10 on the individual chips).
-
- The memory speed COULD be a problem (it was in my case). Faster memory
- should cure it.
