Re: [Avid-L2] Woeful AMA links situation

Thanks Roger, I'll try again. Michael your suggestion is new to me, I'll looking into to it.

Slight topic drift but...

It was an unpleasant surprise that the oh so popular G-drives are so prone to sleep and it's said the sleep can't be overridden. I think the problem only became tedious when I was in a 3 drive situation due to camera card (AMA) libraries arriving in installments. The AMA drive that wasn't being used all the time is constantly join to sleep

-P
