I understand I used most often directly from the Thing using Kobold or 
KK commander or in the last resort the same thing and moved files from 
one window to another with disabled Kobold, but the effects were 
similar.

On SCSI drive I made only BGM partition and copies folders from IDE disk 
from  BGM partitions on SCSI drive. I did not make test with ext2.

My IDE drive is powered from ATX power supply which I use also CT63, IDE 
drive is bootable and on it I have MINT.
SCSI devices have powered from another power supply AT because they all 
are inserted into the housing of the PC.
