If anyone has things they'd like me to try let me know. I'm currently running 2.1.5R on a friend's box here (the one I put together out of spare parts), and he was thinking of buying an Archive Anaconda. Recalling that you were having problems with this combination, I'd be interested in hearing more. BTW, it seems that at least some of the problems I reported earlier were due to a really bad VLB motherboard, which seem to indicate that it has serious DMA problems. I haven't checked the 1542A, which is still in Germany, but it made a big difference with the 1542B. Greg
