However, I've tried fiddling with the drive descriptors and no luck. I am pretty sure the drive is at fault; I have tried at least 4 different boot files (with separate /h0 descriptors) and none of them work. -thanks, Russ --- Maximus 2.01wb * Origin: The MM/1 Keyboard [Calgary, AB 403-246-6943 HST/DS] (1:134/67) Public Message (Rec) Message # 2573 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : John A Donaldson From : Paul Myles Subject : Re: Kterm Date : 94/03/05 02:00:00 JA> Yes, they are different, but I am going to change the enviroment varible JA> to MODEM instead of TERMINAL_PORT.

I made sure I copied it exactly. Note that I have never seen an address with the - in it. Could this be an _ instead ? BTW I did get Ladial to work but only with Sterm and using my Anchor 2400 baud modem I made up my init string as follows ; 'M1B0&CODT' and that worked fine. I only called my bbs and of course I also changed the 9600 baud referance and control in dial.sys to 2400 baud. And of course turned off the flowcontrol. BTW can you set it up to lock to a hi-speed modem at 38400 and let the modem do the baud detect ? Anyway your second upload does work except with Tascom or Osterm it doesn't shell out right and dies. -(warren_hrach@f343.n202.z1.fidonet.org) --- RiBBS v2.10 * Origin: Ocean Beach BBS 619-224-4878 MM1 TECH moderator (1:202/343) Public Message Message # 2604 *MM1 TECH Echo* To : Russ Magee From : Tim Jones Subject : Re: my HD has died..?

This often works on drives that have stiction problems and won't spin up. This helps with some older Quantums too where the heads would occationally land in the wrong place. The next time the drive spun up the heads would be out of alignment. Good luck. Tim P.S. I should mention to do this with the drive off then immediatly power it up. --- Maximus/2 2.00 * Origin: If I Only Had 1/MM - [512-280-6578] (1:382/107) =*= FIDO ECHO MESSAGES MENU =*= <1> Scan \ <2> Read > OS9 Echo mail <3> Leave / <4> Scan \ <5> Read > CoCo Echo mail <6> Leave /
