That's the SCSI board with two channels.
1st of all whatever I put ont the channel B (whether CD ROM or hard-drive)
is not recognised... Neither by its OWN bios, nor by FreeBSD. There is some
software that came with the machine, but it is for DOS, NT and SC . So
I put both things on the channel A. BIOS loads succesfully, FBSD sees
everything and works.
Until I start to do some heavy work with CD ROM -- like find. Then it comp-
laints about SCSI target 5 (CD-ROM), and sometimes starts having problems
with hard drive (target 1). Cold reboot (power cycling) is what helps in
this case...
Also, once in the morning (after staying up allnight) the screen was full
of messages about target 1 (hard drive), but login-prompt was fine and machine
was working.
The disk is 1G made by Digital (do not remember the model exactly), CD ROM
is by NEC ("3x Multispin" ?). Thanks...
