Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Acting on recommendations, I went and purchased an IBM DCAS 34330 drive, to add to my main server. I like the physical design, but when I tried to put it on the chain with my other two Fujitsu fast/wide drives, it wouldn't work. It's not calbe trouble (the server was my first experimentation with wide drives, and the calbe is a Granite Digital cable, so I think I;m ok there. I followed termination recommendations, and even tried to rearrange things so I would work with & without a termination. Still didn't work. I'm wondering if anyone knows for sure if it'll work with an NCR-875 Controller? I figure it's probably an infant-mortality thing, but this is a double-check. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
