If your Tekram uses sym(4), it must be a DC-390U, DC-390F, DC-390U2B, DC-390U2W, DC-390U3W or DC-390U3D. (The U4 use mpt AFAIK.

Check out the sformat port or the Tekram's BIOS for a low level format (voiding all data on the drives). I don't know if the Tekram BIOS will correct the layout, sformat should be able to. You might also succeed in hacking mode pages with camcontrol, but I don't know the pages and settings to fiddle off-hand, so some higher-level tool would be my recommendation at the moment. -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95
