Hi Andy,

Thanks for the help.

Hmm... the disk caddy lights are coming on - I can't see any disk lights.

I've got power from 2 320 watt psu's and have tried with just 2
matched disks but no joy.

Sorry I've rudely failed to say thanks or respond - been too busy to
even think about this box and wanted to investigate it a bit more
before asking for more help.

Cheers,

A.
