> Sounds like you've narrowed it down to a software issue. I thought so too. It now seems that either 1.4T has issues too, though my evidence doesn't rule out the possibility that they're hardware-based. Specifically, when my build of the world finished, the drift dropped from about .4% to about .1% - the job mix _does_ affect timekeeping (though 4.0.1 still kept substantially worse time than 1.4T, so there's also a significant version difference). > Now, if only you could merge the working SCSI support with the > working time code! I may try to backport the SCSI support at some point, though I also may not bother since the main point (or at least the main driving desire) of my messing with my NeXTs is a working printer, and it's possible the NeXTprinters I have will turn out to be nonworking one way or another. Right now, I'm off trying to track down a non-NeXT-related bug, though, so the NeXT stuff will probably mostly lie fallow for a bit. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
