Hi, List- I have a weird problem with my Duo 2300, specifically with the hard drive installed in the dock. I've installed a 2.1 GB IBM SCSI hard drive. After I formatted it, it worked fine. I then installed OS 8.1, and that went fine, too. However, after a shut down, the drive doesn't mount. I always have to go back to using Drive Setup to mount the drive... and often have to reinstall the driver first. Then it mounts perfectly. After a shut down, the next time I restart, it happens all over again. I'm not a SCSI wizard, but can normally work around such things without any trouble. For those of you who ARE wizards: the drive is set at SCSI ID #2, and this does not conflict with anything else on the SCSI chain. My external CD Rom at SCSI ID #3 mounts just fine. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! -Dave Perin > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Duo/2400 List) > Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2001 12:12:57 EST > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Duo/2400 List) > Subject: [Duo2400] Re: 2300 Battery Question > > In a message dated 2/22/01 8:25:05 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > writes: > > << I was afraid the battery was probably on its way out.
