Okay, probably a dumb question but I can't readily find an answer in the archives.. I just picked up a (used) surestore C1533A (thats an HP device) and am having some problems getting it work quite right. I've got the dip switches set correctly (I was able to find at least 3 corroborating pages for that) but can't manage to get it to write correctly. It will only write about 50 megs using 0a as dump flags. Trying to specify -B and estimating compression got me to about 200 but it's a 4 gig drive. All it wants to do is write a few blocks, sit and sputter for a second or two, write a few more, (repeat for about 15 minutes) and then tell me it's at EOM well before it should be. There are notes in the hardware compatability section that says this drive has been made to work onder FreeBSD so I know at least that it's not simply an unsupported device. Any suggestions from the folks in the audience? -Wayne
