Re: self-test GS /scsi

[cornelio@san.rr.com (Louis Cornelio)]

ok, as I had another cpu that *passed* the self-test, 
I tried another SCSI card in it

Still UNABLE to copy more than 800k beofre I get error msg.

I am pretty desperate because I have no other easy way to transfer files
between GS and G3 besides the zipdisk.

Any other measure I should try?

thanks!
