Re: Help: 2 diyng GS?

My father uses 2 GSes for  medical research data (as special soft was
develloped for his work some 25 years ago). He used to work on #1
(10Mhz Transwarp, 40Mo Vulcan HDD) and backup data on #2 (no
accelerator, but SCSI controller and 300Mo SCSI HD.)
However, since a week, he has big trouble:

#1 boots fine, but after 1h begins to behave erratically and write
garbage files to the HDD. He tried to disable the accelerator, but no
success.

#2 does not boot anymore from the SCSI HD, and, when booted from a
floppy, the HD is not accessible. From the control panel, the
controller in slot 2 is correctly set to "your card", and the external
HD lights are on


I'd do some parts swapping to see if you can get one working right.
I'd try moving the memory expansion card from GS#2 to GS#1 and see if
that helps. If not then I'd move the Vulcan over to GS#2 and see if
that works.
Might help if you mention what city and country you're in. Might be
someone in your area that can help out in person.
