| I ran the 2058 diagnostics this weekend.With just the SuperGen 2000s
installed the test passed,I installed the GVP hard card,and the
test gurued right after the credits.So the problem seems to be in
the disk controller.The only other thing I did lately was install
the fat lady for more chip ram.Could this have any bearing on the
problem? If I have the memory card jumpered for 4meg,select nofast
ram from the workbench I can duplicate drawers until my arm falls
off.This would indicate a ram problem,would it not? My next step
is to call GVP today,and se if they have any idea as to what is
happening.

| Well judging from the responses to this note I can tell many are
just dying to hrar the rest of the story. I called GVP an told them
that I could not duplicate an icon on the workbench,and that the
memory test for the 2058 card would guru with their hardcard installed,
but would run ok without their card.Their first statement was"well
that does not mean it is or card".This led down the path of buss
loading etc.I was pretty insistent that I felt it was something
on their board.They had me check my board,and call in the checksums
of the pals.Sure enough two had been changed.GVP sent them overnight
at no cost to me an lo,and behold I now have 4meg of memory on the
2058,and can run the 2058 test with the system stuffed without any
problem.The same go's for duplicating a drawer.BTW I don't know
what happens when you duplicate a drawer but it takes a while,and
I get the feeling it is chugging hard.

ps. I had random disk not valadated problems when running Day of
The Viper off my hard drive.now I'll see if this is cured also.
