Thanx to everyone for all their support and advice for my earlier posting.

To all those technician and service-oriented types, I thought I'd post a
rundown of the invoice, so I wouldn't have to mail each of you individually.

System Diagnostic
Problem Tracing
Configure Dual SCSI Drives
Hard Disk Configuration
Hard Disk Prep
Low-Level Format Drive #1 under KS 2.0
Low-Level Format Drive #2 under KS 2.0
Configure Terminal Resistors
Prepare Correct Matrix Tables
Add/Update File System under KS 2.0
Partition All Drives under KS 2.0
Set Drive Reselect #1 to "Off"
Set Drive Reselect #2 to "On"

With the exception of "Problem Tracing," which he claims to have taken up
the main brunt of the twenty hours, the rest of the work sounds as if it
could be done in under two hours.

Several of you have said that the "Matrix Tables" are a red herring.  He
claims that these tables need to be reset on each SCSI device whenever a new
one is added to a chain, which sounds like a load of bull to me also.

Incidentally, he says he used to work for Aegis Development, and was the
co-developor of Sonix. (He disclosed this information to us after he felt we
were questioning his experience with Amigas.)  I did not get his name, but
his initials are PB.  I'm sure someone on this net could glean the name from
that info and possibly tell me more about his background.

Thanx again for all your support,

Agitator
