He had more files than me. And yes I do mean a machine crash not a hard drive crash. I had/have about 35MB on my disk while he has about 65-70MB on his. I don't know if it a quirk in the Everex driver software or maybe in the controller card or whatever. I'd like to know if anyone else who bought one of their drives around August 87 has the same problem. Michael O'Rourke Clemson University Computer Center
