I pulled (4) 9G HD's off a Sun Ultrasparc last week which were said to be acting poorly. Worked so-so on the Sun. Blew up big time on an SGI O2. Pulled the drives out of the case and found every single one had internal termination enabled. The installer didn't even bother to read Seagate's little book that came with the drives. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
