Mark, thanks, that what I suspect/aim to do today I tried in another chasis, a P3, all three drives booted OK but, I had no LAN, and, these systems have no USB support.... I'll put Danis drivers on a floppy, and, install tomorrow, maybe USB support as well actually, I think I should copy the drives to some newer/larger drives, one of the 300MB drives is extremely unpleasantly noisy. (next, I need to figure out why my SCSI systems loops rebooting, suspect the main board, it has BM C:/D:/E: all bootable, all loop reboot, even with one only of the three installed RAM modules) -- Voytek -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG
