I value both your opinions. It would seem That either there is a leak somewhere else or that the master os the slave has failed. Correct?????? This is major to me and really crucial. If I could affotd it I would be driving a newer 9000.I am not sure about the new 9.x series. hanks again and if you can add to what you have said or if anyone else has something germaine, please post it ASAP. Reply to: MWM1xxxxxnopsamedu Remove the four "x" and the use the address The "x"s are for the spam scanners ---------------------------------<SNIP>------------------------------------- ------------------- Many thanks to both Grunff and Dave. As a lurker I have valued and used your knowledge. If I could afford it I would be in a newer 9000. I am not sure of the 9.x's yet. Malcolm
