I'm using the ep drivers with a 3c509 in a FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 system and notice similar behavior writing to a SCSI disk on an Ultrastore 14F (I think) controller. I notice some weird options on the DOS setup disk for modem baud rates and client/server . . . Does anyone know what these settings really mean? Is the 3c509 programmed to lock out interrupts for variable amounts of time or somesuch? (Maybe the SCSI controller has similar configurations to be tweaked?) larry-granroth@uiowa.edu
