Thanks to all who responded to my posting about having trouble with an Adaptec Slim Scsi 1460 controller on my Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop. I have it working, sort of... I tried a 3rd drive, an old 540meg Quantum that I had on the shelf and it works fine. One of the drives I was using to test has turned out to have bad blocks. That explains some of the grief. The other is a big old monster full-height 2gb drive. It was working OK with my old 1542 controller when I shut it down a year ago. For some reason, the Adaptec doesn't seem to like this drive. It works for a few seconds, then times out. With the Quantum, I do get a couple of "Timed out" messages on the initial probing of the drive, but it attaches the drive on the 3rd try every time and it works fine. I'm puzzled as to why I'm getting these at all, but perhaps my drives are older than the ones that folks normally use with this card. My setup is as follows for the Dell Inspiron 4000, in case other Dell users are around: From Dmesg: Sony PC Bus controller: pcic0 <VLSI 82C146> at port 3e0 iomem 0Xd00000 irq 9 on isa0 In pccard.conf: irq 3 10 Adaptec config 0x9 "aic" ? Dlink DFE-650 config auto "ed" ? 0x80010 -Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
