Ah, very good observation. Yes, I did, when a normal SCSI drive gave me no problems with a much lower value. Increasing the value to 8 seconds gave one time when a timeout was recorded; otherwise, the drive was mostly detected fine. I backed out the change I thought I needed to make to get things to work. Just as a note, there was a time when I got nothing but timeouts. I then rebuilt the kernel with SCSI_DELAY increasing up to and including 15 seconds, with no change. Until I disconnected and reconnected the drive; then it worked fine, even with a 5 second SCSI_DELAY, thereafter. I'm back down to a 5 second SCSI_DELAY, without my hacks (I think), and it works. So, sorry about the false alarm, and this for the archives, in case someone else seems to have problems, to double-check the value of SCSI_DELAY. Thanks for the pointer, sorry for the delay in this response, and sorry for all the noise I created already. Barry Bouwsma
