NL> I didn't think that Rainbow would recongnize anything over 30meg. It worked fine once I got the jumpers set correctly. NL> If is a slip in, what did you you use to format and partition it? This presents somewhat of a problem. I was running DOS 3.10.016 at the time and had no problem formatting and partitioning it with WUTIL. But despite reports to the contrary, I have been unable to get WUTIL to operate under DOS 3.10b. So I would have to drop back to 3.10.016 to format, then use SYS to upgrade my system to 3.10b. - --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Md. - 301-622-2247 (1:109/417) ------------------------------ End of Rainbow EchoMail Digest ******************************
