I did have some problems with the 1505 initially, but that was getting it to be probed correctly. That now works OK since putting the plug and play drivers into the kernel. There may be a remote chance of getting the drive to test with another adapter, but I don't have easy access to the machine, so it isn't that simple. I have also sent this query to exabyte. thanks, Carey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
