We should make it a little clearer. The SCSIRead #5 error is not the
problem. It always seems to do that.

The big-drive problem is seperate, though I thought it'd been fixed. I
know it was at one time.... The "big sets fail but small ones work" makes
it sound more like a memory leak or some such. ??

Take care,
