X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL20] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I sucessfuly hooked a NOMAI MCD540 removable disk unit to a FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE system. I got some troubles to make it work, I got tons of bus resets and NCR crashes likes this: sd5(ncr0:5:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8. ncr0:5: ERROR (80:100) (8-2a-0) (8/13) @ (544:900b0000). script cmd = 910a0000 reg: da 10 80 13 47 08 05 1f 01 08 05 2a 80 00 02 00. ncr0: handshake timeout sd5(ncr0:5:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f0c04c00. It was solved by a main board BIOS update on an Asus P/I-55TP4XE with an Asus PCI-SCSI2000 adaptater. The last version of the BIOS available from the Asus ftp site or mirrors, in the file TCX5I020.ZIP. I can't explain why it work with this release and not the the older one as the NCR bios seems to be the same between the two version. Anyone got some ideas about this? -- %!ps | Bertrand Petit alias | elrond@imladris.frmug.fr.net | Cette zone est | % | >elrond le demi-Elfe< | elrond@freenix.fr | a louer | 550 0 translate 90 rotate/NewCenturySchlbk-Bold findfont 690 scalefont setfont -5 15 moveto(42)true charpath clip/Helvetica-Bold findfont 8 scalefont setfont 0 9 800{dup 360 mod 360 div 1 1 sethsbcolor/y exch def rand 10 mod neg 11 800 {y moveto(42)show}for}for clippath 4 setlinewidth 0 setgray stroke showpage
