This type of error with the 2nd IDE controller was reported also by other people, mostly the reports were "working sometimes". First of all, Teles refuses to give out any docs about their hardware, so it might be that not all addresses are used but this is 100% speculation. What you are recognizing is the real nice thing about newbus: you can't allocate a resource twice. I admit, this might be a bit cumbersome in the single case but it saves us from the "working sometimes" and "working sometimes not" and "sometimes, very seldom and unreproducible" error reports in the general case. hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@kts.org Hamburg, Europe We all live in a yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine, yellow subroutine ...
