On the SCSI : bus, I've got 2xHD, 1/4" tape, 4mm tape, and a CD. Getting the : termination correct was a pain, but otherwise, no problems. I solved : the termination problem with a Sun active terminator. Using an active terminator may be the answer. The original poster's problem is indictative of a possible termination problem, but it doesn't explain why the system worked with FreeBSD 2.0 as is in another poster's system. As soon as FreeBSD 2.1.6 is available on CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, I'll be trying it with my BT-757C and we'll see how well it works. Hopefully I won't see a snafu with having a SCSI Zip drive hooked to the SCSI-3 external port. -- /* ** Internet: jca@accessnv.com | Don't blame me, I didn't vote for Clinton. ** jca@anv.net | Intel is the word for 'errata.' */
