        I have Seagate 65MB RLL + Stacker 2 and I am having this
        odd problem. Sometimes on second partition HD led turns on
        and everything stops for few (5 - 20) seconds. Then it continues
        without problem. It depends which programs I am using. Some
        does it never but eg. Wing Commander 2 was a pain, because
        every minute it stopped and it happened mostly in battles
        so it was quite annoying.

        I have DTC RLL controller. Could it has something to do with
        Stacker???

        Friend of mine has similar problems but he has SCSI with
        100 MB HD without Stacker so it may be other cause?

        Who-know-let-me-know! ugh
        
        Thanks
