I tried creating a PCPI boot disk with the PDOSHD.DVR configured (and the printer driver unconfigured) but it crashes on boot. I'm using a platinum IIe with an Ace 80 cad in slot 4. It boots PCPI CP/M just fine otherwise. Running PRO/PART without the driver seems to just send me back to the CP/M prompt with no error messages.
Are the folks wrestling with ProPartition and the hd driver following the directions carefully? If so, this is bizarre. I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a corrupted distribution of my code floating around, since it's worked fine for a lot of folks.
One thing does occur to me about Dave's situation. The Ace card was not exactly the same as the later production Applicards, and it's possible the system software is too old to support the 6502 host BIOS calls required by the partitioner.
Still just guessing. When my CFFA3000 gets here, I'll try an install and see what transpires.
