Everything worked just great! When I went to boot up the hard disk for the first time to install the rest on the runtime system it died! I got ............... but not ............... boot: which I expected. At this point I looked at the bootstrap for a non-rll vs a rll and find that while the non-rll bootstrap looks like code the rll bootstrap looks like a table has ovrewritten it. Calls to tech support and notes on the bulletin board have left me with no answers, just frustration. Is there anyone out there that has gotten the new driver to work with >17 sectors? If so did you have any trouble? Any Compaq 386/20 's out there that have had better luck? E-mail me please. If a work around is found I'll post it. Thanx in advance Mike Hammond
