I've been runing a pile of DEC DPS3053L drives (sell about 3 to 5 of them a week) and have never seen this on a NCR using those drives. These are the same series drives as the ones you are using. Have you ever installed FreeBSD on this before and this is a new bug, or have you been having this problem in the past? Are you using the active termination of the DSP3107L and have you tripple checked all your devices to make sure termination is correct? > -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
