I've tried mine on an NCR, Bustek BT542 and Ultrastor 34f, and none of them will boot from it, presumably because it says it's a removable. > I believe you can rejumper it so it does not report itself this way. Do you believe in fairies too? The Jaz is designed for musicians; all of the controls are hard-to-get at, and do very little, in order to reduce their support load. Your options are : SCSI ID, termination off/auto/on. You might be able to change more if you pull it apart; I still have warranty-related delusions about mine so I'm not going to do that 8) > Terry Lambert -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
