If I may infer that you are using a C-Ltd controller from the word "kronos" above, I'd suggest you check your mountlist (or device setup) file to make sure that the serial port has priority over the SCSI port. I've seen several cases where this was set wrong and caused loss of serial data. (Changing the flag will *NOT* cause you to lose data to/from your hard drive. Data transfer will just be a bit slower.) --- Cal ____ HOBBIT / / / 340 Meg Online HOLE / / / 12/24/9600HST bps AMIGA: ____ / / / Exclusively Amiga \ \ \/ / / "Best Amiga BBS in FL" The computer for the BEST of us! \ \ \/ / July, 1989 Final List(tm) \_\_\/ A comfortable place to meet -------------------------------------- Cal Jones, Sysop. 904-243-6219 24Hrs
