I upgraded that machine to 3.0-RELEASE last night, though, which included a switch to the CAM SCSI drivers. Since then, my Exabyte hasn't been working. ahc0: rev 0x00 int a irq 11 on pci0.9.0 ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs [ ... ] sa1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 sa1: Removable Sequential Access SCSI1 device sa1: 3.300MB/s transfers No matter what I try to write to it, it reports that it has reached the end of its media -- dd says: atdot# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nrsa1 bs=1024 dd: /dev/nrsa1: end of device dump gives me a change volume request before writing its first block, tar reports that it has written 0 of 10240 bytes and errors out. Are there any known problems with EXB-8200's? Do I need to change any jumper settings to make my drive work? Do I need a particular PROM revision? Doctor, will I ever play the piano again? Thanks in advance, - mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried an internal modem, newton@atdot.dotat.org but it hurt when I walked.
