The Wangtek has been working just great the past couple of years inside my computer case and using FreeBSD. But now it is acting up with FreeBSD since I moved it to the external encloser. When the Wangtek was inside my case, it was the terminating device. It has the terminator packs in place on the unit. My CD-ROM drive is now terminating my internal bus, and the Wangtek is terminating the external bus (with its terminator packs). My scsi controller is a PCI Tyan S1365 with the NCR 875 chip. As you can see from the "dmesg" output below, FreeBSD is communicating with the Wangtek. However, not well enough to do dumps and restores. When the tape unit was internal to my case, I had no such error messages. I now have the Wangtek set for scsi id 4. Are there any kernel options or scsi parameters I can tweak to get this working ? Any ideas ? thanks - Ken Whedbee Copyright (c) 1992-1998 FreeBSD Inc. Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.
