What have I missed? G'day Dan, Did you get it working yet? They do work - here's mine: sym0: <810> port 0x6000-0x60ff mem 0xf0000000-0xf00000ff irq 11 at device 5.0 on pci0 sym0: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-10, SE, parity checking sym0: PCI DATA PARITY ERROR DETECTED - DISABLING MASTER DATA PARITY CHECKING. ... da2 at sym0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da2: <QUANTUM VP32210 581H> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da2: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8), Tagged Queueing Enabled da2: 2103MB (4308352 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 268C) da1 at sym0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da1: <IBM OEM 0662S12 2 22> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da1: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 1003MB (2055035 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 1003C) da3 at sym0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0 da3: <QUANTUM VP32210 581H> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da3: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8), Tagged Queueing Enabled da3: 2103MB (4308352 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 268C) I strongly suspect that your problem IS with termination. If your card is anything like mine (I suspect it is), then you'll notice that there is NO termination on the card itself! Therefore, you have to terminate BOTH ends of the SCSI cable (assuming only one drive).
