Their descriptions available as 'info' on the bulletin board file section are extremely lacking, with just the word 'fix' without saying what it fixes. I later found that the file you mention was the one to get. The two biggest problems are intermittent drive-dismounts and data corruption. That's a rather angry consumer base on the board. Few answers and far between. Their tech support by phone, if you could stand the 30-minute wait, with the help of a speaker phone, was very helpful though, in spite of the older file (4/94) being recommended. >(Note that their fax-back number is the same as their tech support number) > Micropolis Corp ...........
