Thanks, Eric. I have indeed spent many free hours searching for a solution, and the gurus I'm consulting are also anxious to see if another drive will behave the same or not.
I have not exhausted the SW route, having today found some oddball utilities on the Macfixit site. Does anybody have the original 7.6 install images that came with the 3400? All I have is one Disk Tools floppy, and it does not contain the 'true' 7.6 contents intended for the 3400, but earlier and/or smaller versions in order to fit on the floppy. I'm thinking the 'full install' contains drivers, etc, that may be critical in rebuilding the default settings. If anyone wants to send me some SW, please contact me off list so I can clear the decks. Thanks. George --- "Eric L.
