Hello! My system is too old to have anything other then "Compatable" and "Bi-directional" modes for the parallel port. Both of this are recognized as NIBBLE-only by ppc0. When I try to cp a big file (Wordperfect distribution) onto a Zip cartridge (with ufs with softupdates) the whole system becomes "jerky" and soon hangs -- I can still go from one virtual console to another, but can not do anything and need cold reboot. I used to be able to use the drive during Autumn (although I only used msdos-formatted cartridges). Any ideas?
