Well I too increased the flash write times to 18000 and 32000 and it seemed
to be much more reliable although not 100%. I found that if I toggled the
values back they would fail and then when I wound them out again it would
mostly work fine.

I then decided to try uisp so I downloaded the code and built it ok and got
it to run. It seemed to work most of the time but gave the odd verify error
every now and again. Maybe 1 in 10 tries.

Maybe it is just a Win2K bug or it is doing something with the system
checking for plug-n-play stuff being connected to the LPT port.

Cheers

to be the author and not the list. I guess some of my posts are simply going
to the author of the prior poster and not the list. Is this configurable
behaviour of my subscription?
