Oh, I suppose it works better than before - before, it just gave a R/W error requester. Now, it gets a good 1 kilobyte per second throughput. In other words, almost, but not quite, nothing at all. This with NO overscan, 640 wide, four-plane screen, A2090, Quantum Q280 28ms SCSI drive, Rev. 4.2 motherboard, no FFS. Just a plain old vanilla SCSI that ought to be my pride and joy rather than a pain in the posterior. (I'm no expert, but, 64 *bytes* of FIFO on the 2090?? Wouldn't 512 as a minimum, make more sense? Could that FIFO chip be just popped out and replaced by a bigger one?) Commodore! Yoo-hoo, Commodore! What do I do NOW? Help! -- Charles Poirier (decvax,ucbvax,mcnc,attmail)!vax135!cjp "Docking complete... Docking complete... Docking complete..."
