AH>What firmware are you using on yours ? AH> AH>I have the latest 3.88 version. I've got several, but would have to open the computer to check the version. I won't have access to the Falcon prior to thursday, though. On this Milan, the only EXT2 partition is on a "real" SCSI drive, so I can't test. It has got a 40GB IDE disk with FAT16 and FAT32 partitions connected with an ACARD device to the SCSI chain, though, and I haven't seen hardware-related data corruption on that one, either. The Falcon has got only one harddisk, and that's attached to SCSI with an ACARD device. There are 2 EXT2 partitions on it, with a complete SpareMiNT installation on one of these. I don't use that installation much, though, as I haven't yet been able to make ScreenBlaster work and MagiC is simply still more suitable for my tasks. Yet I haven't experienced the kind of problems you've got. The Falcon is equipped with a CT2A, which comes with some quite reliable clockpatch. The occasional file system check did never reveal anything worse than some lost cluster (or the EXT2 equivalent, anyway) after a program crash. With best regards Ekkehard
