If you >always do a 1 block read/write it's ok, otherwise you get phase-errors. Thanks for the tip. I'll check that out. I haven't been getting phase errors, unless the hanging in DoIO is actually due to a phase error that is not being reported (I know the error reporting of hddisk.device is hosed). It's sure worth a shot though. >Have fun:) I guess it is fun, isn't it? :-) -larry -- Entomology bugs me. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
