Not bad. Meantime, I'm running the IIx off of floppies. Oh, Before you do that, try a different cable and make sure it is secured tightly. I've had similar symptoms occur on my Decstation when I didn't have a good connection. I've noticed that many people, myself included, tend to look for the more complex solutions to problems and ignore some of the simpler things. I've been burned by bad cabling/connections more than once. -- Jim Gish GTE Laboratories, Inc., Waltham, MA CSNET: jgish@gte.com UUCP: ..!harvard!bunny!jwg1
