Ok.  I suppose it just adds more wear-and-tear on the thing anyway...

Great.  I look forward to seeing it.

I am tracking down a problem now where I can't do alot of disk activity
on my new DEC scsi drive when the HP CD-R drive is plugged in.  I unplugged
it from the scsi bus and everything is fine.  Plugging in and unplugging
my external cdrom and zip drive doesn't change anything.  Keep in mind that
there is no activity on the HP CD-R side of things.  This is really 
strange...  I think I am going to have to plug in an Adaptec 1542 and 
use that for the HP CD-R drive.  
Here's what happened when I tried to copy my entire /user directory (600M)
into a partiton on the 2 gig DEC drive:

First, here's the stuff on my scsi bus.

Jan 25 21:14:23 jjarray /kernel: with 333227 2048 byte blocks.

And the error message:  (After copying a few hundred megs over)

Jan 25 21:45:21 jjarray /kernel: ncr0:2: ERROR (20:40) (8-28-0) (8/13) @ (1150:180000a0).

I filled the whole 2.1 gig drive up fine when I unplugged the CD-R and rebooted...
Any ideas?

Fred.
