Hi ST-people,

I've just taken delivery of a 106Mb drive from Third Coast Technologies.  It's
a Toshiba mechanism (apparently) and came with all the usual ICD software.
Well, the drive is just fine :-)  I've got ACRES of space to play with :-)
B*U*T, it would appear that very occasionally the video is losing sync (i.e.
the picture goes apeshit and completely unreadable) :-(

This has happened a couple of times, and twice when in the middle of a multiple
file copy!!  :-o  Thankfully, the ST and HD continued talking long enough for 
the data to get through :-)

So, has anyone out there experienced such a problem when they attached a new
HD?  I've checked the obvious (cables and connections..) but nothing else is
apparent - only the fact that there is a new piece of kit hanging off the back
of the ST (520 with 2.5Mb).

Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated.  Cheers!
