Re: Floptical problems

[wily@svpal.svpal.org (Paul Creager)]

: my computer crashes.  Setup: ROM 1, RamFast rev.D 3.01e, external quantum 
: 105, with the floptical at the end of the chain. 

Is your floptical terminated?  Is your Quantum terminated?  ONLY the last 
device on the chain should be terminated.

I got a few 0C and 0D errors with my floptical too.  Go into the RamFast 
Utilities and make sure your floptical is marked as Active.  I think that 
helps.  Also you might want to check for the slow chips that Jawaid 
posted about.  I just got my RF back from having the faster chips 
installed, so I can't say yet if it has improved the floptical problems.
 
Also, for some reason it seems the floptical is more reliable when you 
boot _without_ a floptical disk in the drive.  I know it doesn't make 
sense, but it seems to help.  Give it a try.
