Does the system verify writes to the hard drive? #2. How many repeats will the system take before it considers the read to fail? (If it takes 10 tries, I won't consider my repeats of 1 to be a problem) #3. Why doesn't a surface check find these? #4. Is there any way to get these mesages into a more noticable place (such as SMRG's message queue?) Michael p.s. If the system doesn't verify writes (to both floppy and hard), how can we/I make it verify them? : --- : Michael Gersten uunet.uu.net!denwa!stb!michael : sdcsvax!crash!gryphon!denwa!stb!michael : Coff Coff <=== Stop smoking.
