Hi All, Does anyone have the same symptoms?

I've got Risc OS 3.1, ARM 3 (Leading edge) Morley
uncached SCSI card.  When I copy a lot of stuff
from floppy to hard drive in say mode 16 occasionaly
the screen goes white for a second or two - while
accessing the hard drive.  I didnt think this
should happen with an ARM 3 and I definitly
thought it shouldnt happen on hard drives.

Morley says it is Risc OS which does it - but I thought
this only happened if you ran out of bandwidth or something
similar?

Any suggestions - Dave
