CDB: 2a 0 0 79 81 f5 I have successfully built a single dual system from two 6200m's now running the 980520 snap... Your symptoms are very similar to mine. I (and other folks) had to upgrade the firmware on the Micropolis drives. The firmware upgrade is on: http://www.addit.de/SUPPORT/micr-eproms.htm It lists X504_4.exe as the current fw for the 4345xx drives (but the comment still says X502 and the link is still to ``X502_4.exe''.) Probably the ``X504'' is a typo. I still have X502_4.exe, so if you can't get it from the above site, you can get it from: ftp://ftp.mcs.net/mcsnet.users/imdave/6200m-micropolis-fw.tar which also contains the Adaptech drivers you need to create the boot floppy for the upgrade.
