But basically, each SCSI device driver does a few tests (I think 4), at lots of addresses (I think around 40). That is 160 tests. Each test takes 15 seconds to time-out. Which gives... 40 minutes. But I haven't counted exactly. It was too boring to watch... ;-) It could be that all of this goes faster if you do indeed HAVE a SCSI board. This box doesn't. -- Bart.
