Yes, everthying's terminated correctly :-) Umm not all my cables are scsi-ii though. I'm only running the scsi bus as 5Mb/s anyway though since the ISA bus on this motherboard won't go any faster. Just for general info (and it may be the cause after all) what's the difference in the specs between a scsi-i and scsi-ii cable and when is it safe to use scsi-i and when not. I have had this setup working in the past though, since I installed off the DAT originally. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems. FreeBSD core team member.
