RamFast w/NCS ProDrive

[ballweb@CSOS.ORST.EDU (Brian Ballweber)]

	I am in need of help to set up the proper configuration for a RamFast
and an NCS ProDrive combination.  Previously i posted about having problems
with the NCS ProDrive and the 3.5" Drive, which was fixed by getting rid of the
funky smartport power cord for an external one.  The external power supply
that the drive is using now seems to supply enough power <it supplys 30W power>
but the problems have moved from the 3.5" Drive to the harddrive itself.
 
	Here's the current configuration:
 
	ROM 01, RamFast ver3.00 revD in slot 7, Sequential 4meg Ram Card,
NCS ProDrive 80meg <divided into 3 partitions>, one 3.5" drive, no other drives
 
	The partitions are mapped as follows:
 
slot 7: boot partition / 2nd partition
slot 6: 3rd partition
slot 5: smartport
slot 4:
slot 3:                   RAM3
slot 2:
slot 1:

	The problem is that the drive dosent seem to be reading right at all,
some examples of errors are as follows:  copying from one partition to another
will yield all sorts of I/O errors such as "Invalid parameter count",
"Invalid pathname syntax", or my favorite "Insert NCS.Boot" <the hard drive
partition, which is not removable>
 
	Other errors that have occured are random crashes during reads/writes
especially when in orca/c, such as "Loader: not found", and system wide freezes
are also common.
 
	Question: Does ANYONE know what is going on here???  And if so could
you PLEASE let me know, either via e-mail or a post here???
 
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
