Maybe you do need a new one to make wide work. Presumably its supposed to be a wide SCSI HD? :-) Noticed on my new IBM DCHS-39100 that some variations have a jumper that forces *narrow* SCSI. Namely the differential and SCA versions. Maybe your Quantum also has a narrow jumper? There might be a SCSI mode page parameter for selecting narrow/wide. I didn't see in my IBM data. Did find Write Cache Enable wasn't. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
