I went to the trouble of copying my Fujitsu slave contents onto my old IBM master and then trying to use the IBM as a slave... Doesn't like it. It doesn't come up in time and the message "failed to unmask IDE" comes up on the player.

I also had this message when connnecting up two days ago to do the IBM to Seagate copy, but it didn't affect my ability to read both drives from the command line.

Now when i boot the player it dumps out to the command line automatically. The player app won't start even when launched manually:

Quote:
empeg:/empeg/bin# player
player.cpp : 385:empeg-car 2.00 2003/04/01.
! player.cpp : 291:MainThread::Init failed!

I can read both drive's fids directory from the command line... Time to swap back the Fujitsu so I can drive to work. Stupid me, I closed up the player before trying to boot it. Doh.

For reference, when booting, I get this:
