Gang,

You may have recently read a recap and re-intro of some Jasmine drive
probs I'm experiencing.  Well, here's a horse of a different color (so to 
speak!):

1) When I discovered that my external drive was not mounting, I reset the
PRAM. 

2) Re-booted.

3) Still no drive, AND <<NOW MY 256 color .GIF "StartupScreen" file is 
BLACK & WHITE!! >>.  Yes, I have color turned on, proper #, etc. 

Any ideas as to why this should be so? Tommorrow I plan on re-copying the
startup screen.  Just for funsies I may do a file compare and see what 
changed - and even more importantly, I'd like to know why.  This file insists
that it's B&W now. <<ALL>> other color is fine (proper time & place, etc.).
Just the "StartupScreen" got hammered.  Anyone know why?

BTW: I'm still trying to speak with a human at Jasmine about the failed 140MB
DirectDrive.  We keep playing phone tag.  Glad I'm not paranoid, otherwise I
might suspect they know any (201) area code is a few hours offset - now I just
laugh when my answering machine says the msg came it at 7:28 p.m., etc.  I 
don't mind working late, but...

"When it rains it pours..."

Any help is greatly appreciated!

For best results, please e-mail... :-)
