I just talked to the manufacturer, and he is as puzzled as I am. He's sending me the specs for the controller, but I just can't think where to start looking for the problem. How can having a hard disk connected cause fd0 timeouts ... Any suggestions whatsoever gratefully received. -- Hugh -- Hippo.EuroPARC@Xerox.COM
