I assume the barracudas have a wide interface. I assume the DLT has an 8 bit interface so you use an external wide --> small cable. Does the cable terminate the upper 8 bits? If not then: - terminate the last barracuda - terminate the DLT - set the 2940UW termination to high/on and low/off Upgrade the DLT firmware: ftp://ftp.quantum.com/Tape_Firmware/DLT4000 Upgrade the 2940UW: ftp://ftp.adaptec.digisle.net/eprom_bios/2940uw_bios_v2572.exe > > Incidentally, Anyone got a URL for good docs for the SCSI Select utility? Well, use the defaults (loaded with F6 or F5, don't remember it now) Then change the termination as above. If you still get errors lower the transfer speed. If it works then you still have a termination problem or a bad cable... How long are your cables all together? -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
