Hello, I just joined the group on Friday. About two weeks ago, I bought a 170MB Viper drive and have had no problems with it so far. Using DriveSpace3, from Windows '95 Plus I doubled the entire disk. I paid $130US which included shipping (from California to Massachusetts/New Hampshire, UPS ground) At the end of this message I have included the advert. that I replied to to buy the disk. The one thing I would like to do is get the machine to treat this drive as it does the internal drive. That is in terms of shutting it down when hibernating, etc. Does anyone know how to do that? Specifically, when the machine hibernates that disk is seems to get unmounted. When I open the lid or un hibernate it some other way I have to wait for it to mount back up. Things get even worse if I have an application up that has a file opened on that disk. BTW: The hardware I have is a TP701C, 40MB RAM, 360MB internal, the PCMCIA disk (170MB), and a Xircom(SP) ethernet card. That configuration works great, except of course how the PCMCIA disk is handled during hibernation. Thanks, Peter The PCMCIA disk ad: Accurite Technologies' inventory of PCMCIA Hard Drives has been greatly reduced.
