*verify "appears" to freeze the Iyonix here too. I rather think that is an
illusion, *verify single tasks, even in a task window, so while it is running
it takes over the machine. That's the theory, recalled, possibly inaccurately,
from last time this came up.
I have left the *verify running to see if it does return, the disc light is on
so something could be happening. In any case it will take a while with a 120GB
drive.
For our convenience a fully multi-tasking tool is provided on the drive menu.
I will report back (much) later.
