iYou don't say what model of SCSI card you are using.
Hmm. I have a iBT 445S and connor 1.3Gb drive, no problems at all, Bloody 
fast too 8-)

: Buslogic dont care....

Are you using the default configuration for the BT or have you 
changed anything?
I assume that the Quantum is a > 1Gb drive.  Have you set the switch for 
this on the 445s card?  I must admit I din,t think it will do fix your 
problem though.
