Message-ID: <90Nov19.224036est.8719@orasis.vis.toronto.edu> Organization: Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto Date: 20 Nov 90 03:40:48 GMT Lines: 16 I have an Amiga 2000HD (2091 controller, 40MB Quantum), and lately I have been experiencing something strange. Occasionally (ie: every 5 or 6 cold boots) the hard disk takes over 120 seconds to validate (normally takes less than 30 seconds) ... the disk light just goes wild for what seems like forever. Has anybody else out there experienced this kind of behavior, or have a clue of what may be going on? Should I be concerned at this point? Thanks for any e-mail or general postings to the net. sean. -- o _ /-_ (_)>(_) sean. (culhane@vis.toronto.edu)
