Right after that it starts all the command failed messages. I flashed upgraded the bios and it didn't help. Is there a way to force the driver to use narrow mode? I know this hard disk can do wide scsi, but I am using the 50 pin connector right now. Is narrow the default? So if I comment out the code in the setwide in ncr.c should that do the trick?
