Apparently I plugged the power cable for the internal back in incorrectly. Funny thing is, I can't remember ever UNplugging it in the first place. There's no reason to. So I don't know how it got in the wrong way in the first place... anyway, I got a suggestion to reduce MaxTransfer on the drive from 0xffffff to about 250, which didn't help. The Midget Racer works fine but only if I unplug the A-590. >So, what I'm saying is you may have a faulty cable on your system which >is causing the whole thing to go down. The only cables I had hooked up during the tests were power, RGB, and mouse. But thanks for the info. >= CAT-TALK Conferencing Network, Prototype Computer Conferencing System = >- 1-800-825-3069, 300/1200/2400/9600 baud, 8/N/1. New users use 'new' - So what is this exactly?
