I couldn't help but notice several instances of "instant" in the quote above.
If the traps are indeed 'instant' do you think Dani's driver really caused
them?  Isn't it more likely that the problem lies somewhere else, especially
given you machine wouldn't boot from floppies, which would NEVER load Dani's
driver?

Were you able to fix the problem with the original drive? How?

What switches did you use when you tried the DANIS506 driver?
