You can wire things down with hints. Though I haven't used my parallel-port ZIP drive in years (maybe even a millenium), I've still got it in my hints file: hint.scbus.10.at="vpo0" hint.da.20.at="scbus10" Just stick the umass controller and the device way up somewhere they won't conflict. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet"
