My memory apparent- ly failed me and I mentally swapped this drive with another I was thinking was a huge pain to get working. Greg has reminded me that it was THIS one that caused all the pain. It has worked without a hitch ever since, so it can at least be said to be reliable once reformatted. Mine is attached to an ancient Dell 486 via SCSI. And mine was one we used for drop testing, so it had a hard life before it landed here. -- Jerry Dunham FreeBSD http://www.dunham.org jdunham@fc.net jerry@dunham.org (512)335-0674 (H) E Pluribus Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
