O boy...
So it _does_ look like that this secret bug can affect file
sharing if you use SCSI mode? I think the only other file sharing
alternative my PB 190 has besides SCSI (which I hoped to use someday)
is via the printer port, but it's so slooooowwwww!
So I guess I'm just resigned to use Synk for periodic file
share backups of my 6320 to my PB 190 (doing double duty), though
still can't file share both machines with eaches other log-in icons
on their screens yet!
Well, least no more surprises I hope.
Thanks for all the prompt assist!!
