Hello!

Up to the mast week I've installed my Quantum Empire 1080S as the
last drive in the SCSI bus chain. The TE jumper near the termination
resistors was set and the resistors were  installed.

Now I placed a TOSHIBS CDROM as the last device on the bus. I dismount
the termination resistors of the Empire and open the TE jumper. But now
I get sometimes problems with spinning up of the disk or with timeouts
during a file system dump on a Wangtex 5525 tape drive with FreeBSD-2.0.5.
Perhaps it's a fault of FreeBSD that the system crashes without any message
like you've pressed the reset button.

Anybody out there with similar problems?

Thanks

Lars
