My 500 is going weird Message-ID: <40916@eerie.acsu.Buffalo.EDU> Date: 16 Oct 90 09:34:44 GMT Sender: news@acsu.Buffalo.EDU Reply-To: v128ll9e@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu Organization: University at Buffalo Lines: 12 Nntp-Posting-Host: ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.3-4.3 Lately my A500 has been doing weird things: Unwarp refuses to work unless I do a WSPlit first and start unwarping at track 40, if I don't I get a million CRC errors. My screen occasionally goes black for no reason at all. Now it won't format a disk! Is this a virus or a hardware failure? Does any one have any suggestions for me? Please, PLEASE help me! -Rich P.S. Please respond via E-Mail, this newsgroup is too big to read everyday. I will forward results to anyone who requests them.
