The hd on my 2400 broke at Xmas and DT&T put in a 6 gig replacement. I have partitioned its HFS+ initialisation into: 1 - 2.0 gig - where everything is now (and 'boot disk') except for 2 - 1.64 gig 3 - 1.95 gig. - a backup of the sys folder I usually copy files via SCSI (and file synch control panel) copying from my desktop machine (the 2400 in dumb mode). This is not working now. I get the icons copied but on opening they contain junk characters. This has stranded me away from home this morning without some data i need for this week's trip. Will I be able to fix this problem by copying via 10 base T ethernet in future? What, in fact, is going on here? peter ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
