Card? This is what dmesg has to say (at boot) about my SCSI stuff: ahc0 rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:9:0 ahc0: aic7870 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST32550N 0021" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 2047MB (4194058 512 byte sectors) (ahc0:5:0): "ARCHIVE Python 28388-XXX 4.CM" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st0(ahc0:5:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x13, drive empty (ahc0:6:0): "ARCHIVE ANCDA 2750 28077 -003" type 1 removable SCSI 2 st1(ahc0:6:0): Sequential-Access density code 0x0, drive empty ncr0 rev 3 int a irq 11 on pci0:11:0 ncr0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ncr0:0:0): WIDE SCSI (16 bit) enabled(ncr0:0:0): 10.0 MB/s (200 ns, offset 15) (ncr0:0:0): "IBM OEM DCHS09W 2222" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ncr0:0:0): Direct-Access sd1(ncr0:0:0): WIDE SCSI (16 bit) enabled sd1(ncr0:0:0): 20.0 MB/s (100 ns, offset 15) 8689MB (17796077 512 byte sectors) Just today I was planning on pulling the little 2G drive off the 2940 for Macintosh use. Was thinking about leaving the 2940 in for tape drives only, also thinking about using the narrow internal connector on the Asus SC875 for the tape drives. But if funny things are happening I'd rather not mess with what works. Then again, maybe moving the tapes to to ncr0 would break things bad enough to find the problem? Any ideas? Firmware in the IBM 9G drive? Firmware on the '875? Bad cables? -- 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.
