I had slews of termination with the host adaptor "automatic" terminaton enabled... Only when I set this option explicitly did the problems go away. You need to make sure termination is enabled on your hard drive, and that it is connected at the very end of the cable. The host adaptor should be connected at the very beginning of the cable. Any unused connectors should be in the middle, not at either end. If you have no external devices, host adaptor termination should be set explicitly to "on" in the ctrl-a screen. -- Brian Ristuccia brianr@osiris.ml.org bristucc@baynetworks.com bristucc@cs.uml.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
