Wondered if one of you technical Amigans might be able to
help me out here. I have a A3000 in a tower with a SCSI-2 Hard drive and
a SCSI-1 controlling chip on the board. I know replacements for these do
not exist so thats ruled out (or is it?).

The problem is I keep getting checksum errors when reading from the HD or
even writing when more than one program is accessing the drive. I have
cured it to some effect by reducing the Max Transfer Rate in the Partition
drive
option of HDToolBox to about $DFFFFFF (roughly - only the 1st char was
changed).

So, does anyone know what value I can set the Max Transfer to totally
alleviate
these problems.

All help is appreciated.

Mark.
