RC=65282 and it happens with DaniS506 version 1.5 as also with
version 1.51
installed just today !

I did but it was impossible to get the displayed frame
transferred ;-((

SmartMON after back-grading to DaniS506.ADD version 1.45 for the
IBM DTLA 75GB drive says: S.M.A.R.T. is not supported !

Well, I do not understand why the 2 smaller drives are giving a
display
and the bigger IBM gives either an error code (RC-65282) or the
"non
supported" message ;-((

Thanks for your assistance, cooperation and support ;-)

Yes.

And what's the SmartMon T.E.C. (estimate of when the drive will
fail)?

What is the rc= value? This is what happens to me with DaniS506
v151
(but not with v145).

SmartMon is just reporting the value stored in the hard drive.
It isn't
*causing* your hard drive to fail.

I've already alerted Andrew (SmartMon) so he can also test. He
has just
sent me a new version of SmartMon which I will test as soon as I
reboot.

Highlight the values using the left mouse button. Then right
click and
Copy.

SmartMON

Ctrl-C works for me. Or close the entire window.

What about Ctrl-Esc? Does that bring up the Window list where
you can
highlight and close the SmartMon window?

> So my warning is more to SmartMON than to Dani's drivers !?

Svobi, *what* version of DaniS506 are you using? Is it version
151
which doesn't work here, or an earlier version?
