2940AU - Intermittent faults. My 2940AU works fine under WIN95 with only an
internal 2GB Seagate drive. But when HP4C scanner is added externally, it works
for a time and then hangs unpredictably. Termination is set on the scanner and
on the drive. The sustem works with termination on the 2940AU set to auto or to
enable or to disable and the intermittent fault occurrs on any of these
settings. Any advice appreciated.--
