Does anyone know why I can not do a copy from one harddisk to another
if I use the quiet switch. If I do a copy from one harddisk to
the other without using quiet everthing works fine.
I'm using a Commodore 2091 controller and everything is properly
terminated and works great otherwise.

The symptom is that the machine will lockup after a minute or two. | |||||

Could be that the output to the screen slows the copy just enough to
allow the SCSI bus to do what it has to do - it could be a controller
problem as well - Are you using 2090, 2090a or 2091 (or 590).
Just guessing...

The 2091 controller card does have known problems (i.e. locks up
after a few minutes) when two or more devices are connected to the
card. The problem has been traced to the WD controller chip
(supposedly). See your dealer (who should know all about this
problem).
This problem will also show up with the quiet mode set on or off,
but is more pronounced usually with the quiet mode OFF.
