We've disabled sync and wide negotiation, so that isn't it, we aren't using tagged queueing yet so that isn't it, and the only things that should have taken place with that device on the bus are a TEST_UNIT_READY command and that's it. The command it hangs on is the INQUIRY command. We're kinda down to only a few things left. That device simply doesn't like some timing issue in the sequencer, it doesn't like our INQUIRY command from the mid level SCSI code, or possibly it has something to do with the Disconnect priviledge. The first two are the hardest ones to change, so let's try going into the Adaptec SCSI BIOS again and this time switch the disconnection enabled to disconnection disabled (or vice-versa depending on what it currently is) and see if that makes a difference. ------------------------------------ Doug Ledford "Opinions expressed are my own, but they should be everybody's."
