The UDMA ICRC errorer is gone and I now have UDMA 100 everything related to storage works well now :>) the printer is of no concern at this point as I havn't even tried to get it going yet, when I start working with it I will read everything I can get my hands on as far as my other questions I will ask about one subject at a time from now on. thanks from, Larry
