This drive sold as low as $139 here ! last weekend. Someone else said that it has 32kB of cache memory (only). Could this be the cause of this problem? Anyway, does anyone know if this FX-001D is OS/2 compatible? -- --- -- -- -- Ari Huttunen ---- Never was anyone more wrong than ---- -- -- he who did nothing because he -- ---- could only do little. --
