Argument accepted. ;-) However :), the old SCSI code was IMHO a little more detailed here. IIRC, it said: ``Unit attention. Power on, bus device reset or bus reset occurred.'' For someone who's knowledgable in SCSIland, that's quite self-understanding, but the innocent user who just knows where the power button is probably can't handle the term `unit attention'. Actually, a lot of the SCSI terminology seems to have been created by strange people... And at least here on the German newsgroups, we get sorrowful inquiries even about obvious messages. I don't want to have changed something immediately, but ``if it fits again'', maybe we could rearrange this or that. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
