As John S. Dyson wrote: > You mean that the typical SCSI implementation doesn't have > surprises, complexities and bugs? I have yet to see a single SCSI disk drive that doesn't work out of the box. The only surprise i've seen so far was an HP drive that doesn't grok tagged commands. The only device i couldn't get to work in any useful way was the Iomega Floptical, but then, this was with FreeBSD 1.0 or 1.1, and since the drives proved to be crappy enough anyway, i didn't spend too much energy into them. This awfully looks like a much better success rate than IDE, where you often have to live with the surprise that two (out of two possible) disk drives of different vendors can't work together on a single bus. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
