|     Well I promised a explaination of the steps to get the
|Microbotics Hardframe working with the LXT100S from maxtor, and
I still have my problem with my 3280.

|here it is.... No warranties expressed or implied, but this worked for
|us...  Thanks to Dave Tinkov for the beta copy of the RDPrep, and
|to someone who sugessted the negative mounttime...
|
|     ON with the story...
|
|Specifically, the maxtor and the microbotics didn't like each other.
|Binddrivers would guru the machine if the drive was unit select 0.
|If it was any unit other than that, it hung.
The 2090 hangs on all units.

|
|SO... we tried RUNing binddrivers..... it got hardframe.device
|into memory, but FORMAThf and the original version of
|RDPREP both gurued...
|
|It was suggested that we select the drive with a higher unit
|select. This was done (we put it at unit 6) (not much higher you can
|go...)
|
... [Happy ending deleted]

|Any questions????
|
|I' know its point form, but if you need more info, I'm quite glad to help
|out anyone who needs help.... after all the useful net assistance
|i received, I'm really grateful... and am willing to help anyone
|who needs it...

Thats great, unfortunately I have a 2090, and non of this works.  I was
hoping to get a response from someone at Commodore, but so far nothing!

Hey Commodore are you out there, HELP!!
