Hi.

I recently started using TURBODOS with a Seagate 296N and
Supra host.

I have had quite a time figuring out why on several (not all)
occasions when autobooting with GULAM, my gulam.g file gets
truncated.  When recopying my gulam.g from a floppy ... a reboot
seemed to be no problem.

ALso... i found strange things with ZEROing a partition using
either SUPRA or ICD utils.  After copying some files to
partition f:\ , i tried zeroing the partition.  Whether i 
used Supra or ICD, f:\ still listed all the files.  I
could emacs the files as well..... I discovered that the
only way to get the directory to look empty was to reboot.
Does this mean that zeroing a partition simply allows one to
start writing to the lowest sectors in the partition again?
Why didn't ZEROing the partition erase the files..?
I have to assume it wasn't a conflict in cache..as i turned
gulam's cache off.. and the weirdness still persisted.
Also... if it were simply a cache conflict, i would think i
wouldn't be able to read the files.

Question: What am i risking using TURBODOS?
          Is it best to rebuild my drive and recopy
          everything back in after having installed
          TURBODOS ???????? 
		  

          Am i the only one who has to reboot after
          ZEROing a partition when running TURBODOS?

Your words of wisdom are gratefully consumed....
