Hi Jim,
I put these notes in to remind folks that an error 206 with a VXA drive can
be caused by factors other than the issue reported on MacIntouch. Ruling out
these other factors in your situation pinpoints the problem, thus contacting
Ecrix makes sense. I just don't want users to be waiting for information
from Ecrix if the problem they are experiencing is not specific to the Ecrix
hardware.
Thanks,
Irena
