I've been using a 30mb SCSI Segate w/ a Trumpcard500 controller for about 2 years. In the past 6 months or so I've had some problems with the drive refusing to spin on power up. But I think it really gave up on Sunday. Now When I power my Amiga it spins and sputters as usual and then STOPS after about 45 seconds! At this point my Amiga decides to prompt me for a workbench disk. -Bob rhir@uhura.cc.rochester.edu hirosky@d0tba.fnal.gov urhep::bob
