Hi World!
 
I have a few questions, the first one dealing with a problem I am
having with my computer.  I have a 1040 ST with a tweety board,
monitor master, mouse master, mono and color monitors, printer, modem,
external drive.  Once in a while, I'll try to boot up the computer and
I'll get a 'drive A does not respond' message.  I'll unplug drive B
and the system will boot fine.  I had this problem a few days ago, and
we thought it was the cable going from the drive to the ST.
Apparently, this is not it.  Today, I was using my st for quite some
time, doing some stuff involving lots of disk access.  I turned off my
computer, and turned it back on a few minutes later and got this
problem. Fooling with all the cables did nothing, and it worked with
drive B taken off, of course.  I walked away, came back 10 minutes
later and everything worked fine.  What in gods name could be going on here?
 
Also, does anybody know of a program to control the drive speed of a
5.25 inch drive that works with Tos 1.4?
