Your external drive has a lower SCSI ID, and is therefore probed first. You can wire your TDC 3600 to st0 if you want; refer to the LINT config file. What exactly are you doing with your drive? What is the response (including syslog output) for a following `mt status', `mt rewoffl', `mt eom' etc.? -- 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. ;-)
