re your CMS drive problem. It seems that CMS got some chips in the 11/87
batch (may have been from Mitsubishi, if memory serves correct) that
had bad timing problems. They began offering free upgrades to those
that had the bad chips last year right about Applefest time (Sept).

I remember the time, because I picked up 3 chips from them for our
CMS drives at Applefest. 

So check your main chip on the CMS card, and get the chip makers name from
it, then call the CMS technical support folks, or better yet, if you
are planning to attend Applefest, bring the card or chip with you, and
let them check it out.

On the other hand, they will be soon announcing a new chip upgrade
to improve operation with the new GSOS, and several other new features,
so even if you don't have the chip with the timing problem, you might
be interested in upgrading to the new chip (latest date I have seen is 
8/89)
