Thanks for the reply. You've given me a couple of things I can look into. I was also wondering if it could be power related. I'll be due for a new battery in the next year or so in my car. The battery is over 4 years old and that's about the lifetime for it.

I figure there are 2 main differences when running the empeg in a car versus on my desk. First, i"m using an A.C. transformer to power it on my desk. That should provide pretty constant power. Second, on my desk it's in a docking station mounted horizontally. In the car, it's mounted at about the maximum recommended angle.

Also, I never saw the problem until after I added the second hard drive. That would draw more power which may cause a problem. I'm just guessing. Although, I didn't initially see the problem after I added the drive.

I love my empeg. I don't know what I would do without it.
