If you had a developer machine, make sure you updated your HDToolBox when you upgraded your A3000. The old ones had defaults suited to the A2091, more recent versions are correct for the A3000 (early developer A3000's may have been set up with the old HDToolBox also). HDToolBox is on the A3000 install disk, I think. Henrik is correct that the proper mask for the A3000 is 0xfffffffc, which is what the release A3000 HDToolBox uses. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com BIX: rjesup Common phrase heard at Amiga Devcon '89: "It's in there!"
