Yes, I found the RAM sandwich-related emails by searching through old
messages. Thank God I've learned to do backups. I lost recent email but
everything from a month past was saved in duplicate on a pile of SyJet
disks. The only thing I use my SyJet for is backing up. In fact I have two
SyJet drives just to be safe, since the SyJet is a tempermental device.
Oh, my point in all the SyJet/backup talk, is that a combination of bad RAM
and SCSI problems can have serious potential for data loss. <grimace>
