I have 5 NEC SCSI CD drives connected to an Adaptec 1522 controller. The device IDs are from 1 to 6, the card is 7, and the chain is terminated. They are all functioning correctly using DOS. I ran MAKEDEV for the additional 4 CD drives, and I now have devices for all five CDs, but it seems like they all appear twice, as both a cdXa and cdXc. I can mount CDs using either the cdXa or cdXc, and there appears to be no difference between them. I searched the web pages for cd0a and cd0c with no success. Is this normal? If so, is there a difference between the devices? If it is not normal, any ideas about what could be causing it? Thanks. p.s. If the answer is RTFM, please let me know what chapter or man page I should be looking for. -- Randy Porter rporter@jnpcs.com http://www.jnpcs.com/rporter ___________________________________________ Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes If you can read this, you're overeducated.
