You're welcome. I have no idea what causes the problem. I wish I was a Mac programmer, but I'm not. I've got Thin C and Think C and an older Code Warrior Academic that comes with the Dave Marks books that are supposed to be great at teaching Mac programming, and they sit on the shelf and on the hard drive and don't get used... What I've run into is that when using a 2940U2B card and a VST card in the same machine under OS 9.1 all my HFS+ volumes disappeared. Either card by itself was fine, and OS 8.6 was fine. To make things weirder, having a bootable CD in teh CD drive at boot (but still booting from the hard drive) made the problem go away, and strangely, hooking an ancient external hard drive up to the external port on the 2940U2B made the problem go away. Then I found the same problem with the VST and the E100 card, but I didn't test it so much. I was busy with a different project when it came up. It sounds like this problem might also be related to hard disk drivers in some way. My problems cropped up primarily while I was using SoftRAID but I think I tried something else too. Anyway, it makes me wonder if your problem was also related to your ATA card in any way. I need to put a different LVD card or a different ATA card in that first machine, but I don't know which replacement might exhibit the same problems. > Anyway, Jeff I'm very >grateful, may I write you off list, I have a thought. Phillip If it's something you'd rather not share with the whole list, feel free. I only ask that you not send attachments without asking first, and if you have Mac related questions, it's best to send those to the whole list anyway.
