Titan 'Accel //e' ?'s

I don't know anything about the card that you have, but I run my BBS
with a 4MHz Zip Chip, and have discovered this:
If the slots containing drive cards (excluding SCSI HD cards) are NOT
set to "normal" speed (IE: 1MHz) then the drives will not function
properly, regardless of whether they are Unidisks, Duodisks, Disk IIs,
compatibles, or whether they are 3.5" or 5.25".  I would suggest that
once you find software to configure your card that you change the speed
for the slots that have your drive cards...I'm betting that the
"default" is to have the slot that your first card is in at 1MHz, but
other slots are set at fast speed...Just a hunch...

Give what you would like to receive,
