Two long shots: First, have you tried a new cable to the driver? It's possible the old one is marginal. (And make sure the driver jumpers are not loose.) Second, have you checked that the drive has a good ground connection to the power supply (not just the case mounting)? It's possible to have just enough resistance that the signals will be affected. You might try another connector; if the connectors are daisy-chained, you might try the one nearest the power supply. (I had a car that came from the factory with a marginal ground on the fuel-injection computer.) Of course, if you have a scope, you can check for stray ground voltages on the case. As I recall, you already made sure that the power supply is adequate on both the +5 and +12? Mark Terribile __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
