[ Description of using Parnet deleted ] If I were you, I would be careful when trying to run ParNet on the A3000, I know of several people who fried their CIAs while trying to run Parnet. I dunno what is doing this, but if I wer you I would keep a few CIAs handy when trying the thing or be 100% sure that yoru cable is working.. -- _____________________________________________________________________________ Alejandro Liu |EMail: aliu@usc.edu |All mispellings are intentional 3131 Mc Clintock #373F |Voice: 213-745-2432 |Anything mentioned here is not Los Angeles, CA 90007 | |necessarily true.
