A Bus Error refers to the data bus of the 68040. I forget the details but it basically means trying to access memory either in an improper way or is non-existant. It has nothing to do with the SCSI bus. And it almost always occurs as the result of the processor running off and executing something besides program code. Most of the hardware related errors are caused the same way. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
