PCT things



I have been using my PC-Transporter (software 2.0.5) with ProDOS 2.0.3
on my GS with RAMFast/SCSI D card for a while now, and get disk
errors on a regular basis.  While using the PCT, I'd be unZiping files,
and after a few get unpacked, I'd get a "sector not found on drive D"
error.  Wondering what could be wrong, I'd use Norton Disk Doctor, and
I'd lose 90k-180k bytes; not a big deal since I have it formatted as a 
12meg hard drive.  Unpacking some more, and I get more errors.  Worrying
profusely, I'd then use Copy ][+ 8.4 to copy my Drive.D PCT image to a
ProDOS backup partition and get error #$2D from Copy2+.  Deleting the 
PCT HD with Copy2+ would also give me an error, so I'd have to format
my PCT ProDOS partition again and start over.  I'm on my 5th re-format.
I checked with the Tech Lords at Sequential Systems to see if the RAMFast
cache could be turned off, but they said the cache was probably not the
problem.  So now I don't know what is.

Has anyone gotten digitized sounds to play from the PCT, or gotten 
a modem to run above 2400bps?

What games do PCT owners play?  SpaceWar, a favorite, doesn't work.
