Actually I had a few 256666Mb drives, and Quantum was the only one to cause these kind of problems. I fixed this by hacking the kernel scsi code - fgrep for 'frozen?!' string in kernel code - I really don't remember where it was, read the code, and why it freezes and either comment it out or insert #ifdefs. it's up to you. it's quite a hack but I never had a problem afterwards :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Nik -- sin.com - Proudly running FreeBSD 2.0.5 486DX2/50 32 Mb RAM 1.5Gb SCSI Look at what Linux did - it made everyone aware of Unices, but it has put back the development of Unix-based OS for decades to come.
