The only thing that crossed my mind was whether the limitation on a 128 is caused by the number of files/hierarchy depth on the HD20. Have you tried mounting a newly formatted HD20 on the 128? I presume that you've tried getting the HD20 to mount on a minimal system with non-essential fonts and DAs removed. Stuart -- If you want a photocopy of the original manual and addenda, mail me.
