Well recent changes are plugging the printer in (which has caused me
problems with my old computer), turning the computer upside down so that I
could plug in the backpanel which had hitherto been sitting next to my
bookshelf, and plugging in a null modem cable into COM3 to connect to my
Amiga.

I suppose the power cable on the HD could have come loose.

The first thing that happened yesterday was that the system was frozen, so
I had to reset.  From memory, it booted up, did a chkdsk no problem, and
then froze shortly afterwards.  The next time I reset, the machine couldn't
find the disk or something, and then another time it said it couldn't find
country.sys in the middle of the OS/2 boot (obviously the disk disappeared
halfway through).  It's a bit of a nightmare really.  I'm thinking I should
move the BBS stuff to my C drive, and run a point system off my E drive for
me.  BFN.
