[ debug output ]

This is what I get w/o the -e:

gdi,ttyp2,~,59>sudo scsi -f /dev/rsd0c -m 1 -P 3
SCIOCCOMMAND ioctl: Command accepted.
return status 3 (Sense Returned) host adapter status 232
Command out (6 of 6):
1a 00 c1 00 ff 00 

Data in (0 of 255):

Error code is "current errors"
Segment number is 00
Sense key is "Illegal request"
The Information field is not valid but contains 00000000 (0).
The Command Specific Information field is 00000000 (0).
Additional sense code: 39
Additional sense code qualifier: 00
sense (32 of 48):
70 00 05 00 00 00 00 11 00 00 00 00 39 00 00 00 
00 00 00 01 01 05 e8 00 00 8a 46 fc 50 8a 46 fe 

And remember what you get at boot...

sd0(ncr0:6:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0 Invalid field in CDB
sd0 could not mode sense (4). Using ficticious geometry

The Jaz (and Zip, they use the same interface hardware) don't support the
SCSI MODE SENSE command, which retrieves these pages as well as the drive
size information. I would hazard a guess that any sort of tuning on the
device isn't supported.

I don't remember seeing anything in the DOS/Windoze drivers that let you
tune this anyway, so I guess it's time to backup & buy a new cartridge.
