Greetings, I  have now a NEC 4Xi CDROM drive plugged into my
FreeBSD 2.0 / Adapetec 1740A system. The problem is that the drive
does not show up in the boot probe although everything else on the
bus does as usual. I now have SCSI_DELAY=30 in config with no good
results. Funny thing is that even the DOS SCSI driver doesn't report
this thing - even though it also sees the other SCSI things. Even
funnier is that a Corel package scanscsi.exe DOES see the stupid thing
at the correct SCSI ID. The cute little diagnostic screen built into
the drive things everything is in order.

I am certain as can be that termination is correct etc. Does anyone
out there have any experience with this NEC drive? Are they inventing
yet a new sub/super-set of "standard" SCSI?

What happened to the 'scsi' program on 1.1.5.1 that at least attempted
to dicker with the devices a  bit?

Paul
