I have made every effort to ensure that the termination is set properly. I am only using two ports on the controller, i.e. one 68 pin internal and the external port. Could this be a problem with the CAM drivers? Or is this classic operator error? Probably the latter, but as best I can tell, and I am no expert, it seems to be a problem with CAM. If so, I'd be happy to provide more details if it would be helpful to the CAM folks. Has anyone else had similar problems? I have installed the Adaptec 2940UW on the same machine with the same external and internal SCSI devices and everything works great. It's not urgent, but the curious side of me wants to get the 7890 working anyway.
