Last week I installed a 120MB RLL Seagate drive in a HP Vectra RS/16.  We
are using an Adaptec controller with it which is supposed to be only for
80MB drives.  After talking to Adaptec and Seagate people they said that the
controller will work.  And so it did.  But, now that the machine is up and
running we are running into problems with the A: drive.  I am trying to 
load some software on the D: partition and it copies the first couple of
floppies fine but then it copies a floppy with the names but with 0 bytes
in the files.  Then it resumes normal application again.  

	I have tried this with some other floppies too, and each time it
does the same thing.  I have no idea why?  After watching TRON last night
I think it is the Master Control Program making my life misreable.  Does
anyone out there have any ideas about what is going on? or what my next
course of action should be?

	Thanks in advance because, I know there is someone else out there
who has had the same problem as me.

P.S. : We used ONTRAK software to partition the drive.  The controller number
       is ACB-2372B
