I'm seeing some problems with Redhat Linux 6.0 and a 2940UW-PRO scsi card driving some Sony SCSI tape drives. The 2940UW (a year or so old) works fine. Note that the 2940UW-PRO seems to be quite a bit different than the 2940UW. The manual says it's OK to use all 3 SCSI sockets simultaneously on the -PRO because the bus is "segmented". On the older 2940UW, you could use any two of the 3 sockets. Also, the -PRO detects improper termination and prevents the system from booting unless it likes the termination. The drives are identified just fine during boot. But when I try to run the drives with the system up, I seem to be getting garbage from the drives. Sometimes the process just hangs. But sometimes (on some drives) what I get back is incorrect (the drive says it's write-locked when it's not, etc.). Has anybody else seen these problems? Is there an updated driver I should be using? -- -Paul Kinzelman, San Jose, CA, ISD Corp email: pkinz@timesync.com web: http://www.timesync.com/kinz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
