It rather smells like a problem with the AIC-6360 driver. I don't think you'll find a solution short of using a better SCSI controller. Sorry to say, but the aic driver looks rather like beta code that never finished. I don't know of anybody offhand in the development team who has such a SCSI adaptor, so the driver is basically ``orphaned''. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
