----------------------------------------------------------
I just wanted to say that this isn't really apropriate for
comp.sys.amiga.tech.  Comp.sys.amiga, certainly, but .tech
is more for
Super Master Hackers of the machine (I'm not one (yet!)),
and I don't
think your problem is *that* difficult.  A .tech type would
go and
rewrite the driver, solving it once and for all. :-}

Talking about warranties is right out.
(.tech types open the case and void the warranty the
instant they get
home, anyway. :-})

I would like to make a *qualified* apology.  I felt bad
that I had sent several messages saying almost the same
thing, and for that I'm sorry, but saying that my problem
is not *that* difficult is really a matter of personal
opinion.  I have spent over one hundred hours in less than a
month on this.  I've replaced the disk drive three times,
the controller once, and would gleefully rewrite the driver
if I had the source, and a little more skill.  Please take
note that I'm not posting to "comp.sys.amiga.tech" as
Colin did in his criticism!  If the people who write on
comp.sys.amiga.tech are really such gurus, it would seem
that one of them could take a few minutes to write and
help a struggling neophyte along!  I would like to point
out that, is exactly what Chuck McManis did (thanks Chuck),
however I'm still deadlocked by this problem.  

I think it's a sad note that the only mail I got on this
was a criticism.  

The computer is in the shop now (changing the mother board) 
and hen this problem is resolved I will let everyone know 
how it got fixed.  It seems that I'm not the only one to 
have this problem, and it's been quite painfull (to me).  
I'll try and suffer in silence. :-)
