MSH, Werner Guenther's PcPatch 3.5", Project D's Omni Tool (makes diskcopies in PC format), and heavily CPed games like Shadow... all fail on my system, even when in stock configuration I had some correspondence with two others with exactly the same symtoms (a hang requiring a cold boot). I was never able to narrow down what the common factor was but it definitely seems hardware related. I would be interested in hearing from any others with similar problems on a 2000. Was there more than one manufacturer used for the floppy drives? -- Jimmy Liberato liberato@dri.com ...uunet!drivax!liberato
