Hi, As a quick browse through the code, I could not find a way to override the BIOS settings for the SCSI card. I have an EISA twin SCSI controller, and it takes about 15 to 30 minutes to reboot, start the ECU, change the settings, verify them and start them again. The setting I am looking for especially is enabling/disabling parity on a particular Bus. I got both parity devices and parity-less devices, and I want to use the internal bus to experiment on them. Of course, if I attach a parity less device to a parity bus, a reset loop will occur, and render the system useless... (In this case I will try to make a Microtek 300 whatever scanner to work. It does not like the request sense or Inquiry commands, because it works with fixed size results. And of course Linux will go into a reset loop if the device gives an error result on a device inquiry...) -- intel1: 1:39pm up 14 days, 19:20, 6 users, load average: 0.18, 0.19, 0.18 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
