A good SCSI drive shouldn't develop faults | like this, and when it does, it's time to shoot it. If you don't like this, hook it up to a SCSI adapter with PC BIOS enabled, start the BIOS diag (usually g c800:6 or so from a debugger), and try to low-level format it. Some people say this causes bad sectors to be re-mapped. -- cheers, J"org work: --- no longer --- private: joerg_wunsch@uriah.sax.de Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
