Please L.D add the following to your config.sys - at the least you'll be
able to tell us that it doesn't help:
device=c:\dos\smartdrv.exe/DOUBLE_BUFFER

I have actually never read anything about SmartDrv in my 6.2 manual. Try
"help smartdrv".

Still it would be interesting solving it wouldn't it?

But since noone can make the same problem happen (I'm not going to buy a
SCSI HD just to try <G>) the problem isn't Arachnes but with running
Arachne on your setup. Please just try and add smartdrv.exe to config.sys
and tell us what happens.
