  Thanks for the tips. However, I've tried fiddling with the drive
descriptors and no luck. I am pretty sure the drive is at fault; I have tried
at least 4 different boot files (with separate /h0 descriptors) and none of
them work.
 
 -thanks,
  Russ

Maybe you made a mistake in the address you left in your docs for
Ladial.  I made sure I copied it exactly.  Note that I have never seen
an address with the - in it. Could this be an _ instead ?
BTW I did get Ladial to work but only with Sterm and using my Anchor
2400 baud modem I made up my init string as follows ;
'M1B0&CODT' and that worked fine.  I only called my bbs and of course I
also changed the 9600 baud referance and control in dial.sys to 2400
baud. And of course turned off the flowcontrol.   BTW can you set it up
to lock to a hi-speed modem at 38400 and let the modem do the baud
detect ?
    Anyway your second upload does work except with Tascom or Osterm it
doesn't shell  out right and dies.

Have you tried hitting the drive in the palm of you hand while giving it a
quick twist. This often works on drives that have stiction problems and won't
spin up. This helps with some older Quantums too where the heads would
occationally land in the wrong place. The next time the drive spun up the
heads would be out of alignment. Good luck.
 
Tim
 
P.S. I should mention to do this with the drive off then immediatly <sp?>
power it up.
