I thought that the SCSI drivers would at least return an indication that a device was found on the bus, and just say it didn't know what to do with it. Isn't that what the SCSI_DEBUG option is for? Anyway, I believe it did this a few years ago when I put a WORM drive on my machine and there was no support it. I am sure it located a 280M SONY SMO drive I used to use with FreeBSD, long before there was special support for it in the kernel. brian
