The narrow cable is quite long. You might try distributing the devices more evenly along the cable. This gives better transmission line qualities. One other thing that might be affecting you is the firmware version on the DDYS drive. S80D is really bad. The latest is S96H. >(ahc0:A:3:0): Sending SDTR period 19, offset f >(ahc0:A:3:0): Received SDTR period 19, offset f > Filtered to period 19, offset f > >...This repeats at 3Hz for a minute until this comes: That's to be expected.
