Same thing here, but it opens up a requester (I still have an older version)
and you have to put in the full path to get Voyager to open, then it opens YAM
as it is my Voyager mailer -- wierd. And yes the HD really grinds. V used
to do that to me with my native A3000 controller, but doesn't on a direct
open up now that the HD is on my MKIII's scsi3 controller. Also odd.
