i don't know... i do not use sio2k... there are known problems with it... the
previous version works great, though... i (still) use it on my eCS system
which is installed clean and then my existing drives moved over with all my
existing operations configurations...

use the previous version instead of sio2k ;)

i had to jump from Warp 3 Connect to eCS... i couldn't get Warp 4 of any
flavor to install and work on my machines... i didn't have time to stay down
longer than i was... several days was already too long... so i went with eCS
and haven't looked back... all of my operation remaing the same as it was on
Warp 3 Connect ;)
