Take a look at the DOS manual). I had the same problem with falcon3 and disabling the write cache helped. I also don't have problems with Tornado since I use the same autoexec/config for both. Hope that helps, Joerg "Dancer" Stenger PS: Witch DIP-settings on Your WCS are You (anybody else?) using for Tornado? ------------------------------- From: Digital Integration Limited Subject: Version 1.0a of Tornado Version 1.0a of Tornado is now being shipped. You cannot tell from the box which version it is. But then again should you wait for version 1.0b which may be released in a months time or 1.0c etc. We do offer an upgrade path for this product! Tornado has been praised for its lack of bugs. If your going to buy it then do so, else don't! There will always be another upgrade to wait for! [ How do we get this?

Ok everybody, I thought I read most everything that came across my desk. Unfortunately this note has me baffled. Can some kind soul please tell me how it fits in? Lets see, it is from DI Patch A is shipping attached to new Tornado packages, ok. Is the patch out yet for us owners? You have b and c patches comin?????? Just what is with that last line "If you are going to buy it do so, else don't!" Maybe I missed something but that sounds a tad bit testy to my uninformed ears. Well at least DI is here. I wish SH would make a larger presence. _________________________________________________________________ Lodgged on to Prodigy last night. Took advantage of free offer. I see why I left in the first place and will cancel tonight :-( Any way..... Apparently A10 is now second quarter of 94 and F/A 18 (Working title) is first quarter 94. Which means this time next year we will be loading A10 for the first time :-p Scott in WV Morgan@wvugeo.wvnet.edu ------------------------------- From: Andrew.Stevens@prg.oxford.ac.uk Subject: Tornado [ *PLEASE* edit the subject lines.

Given the above I'd guess it will be quite some time before the patches propagate to the stores. Multiple months probably and even then old stock might be around. >Also, for this manufacturer, is there a way to tell which version you >have by looking at the box? Not on the box itself of the European version. But who knows if they'll pop a sticker or whatever... Note also that the current patch is an interim. There's more on the way over the next month or two. Andrew ------------------------------- From: knutson@mcc.com (Jim Knutson) Subject: What happened on the GEnie Scorpia conference last night?
