Well, after opening the case, the cable was fitted in the right connection.

But when you wrote about LVD a light popped up that when i boot
the system the Adaptec bios reported :

ID: 6 QUANTUM VIKING II 4.5WLS 3506  ULTRA2-SE

So it is recognised as Single Ended.

After browsing www.quantum.com i noticed a jumper called "SE" factory default
is Off ie Auto Negotiate.

It was ON on my drive... ;-(  ;) Which means SE.

So after pulling the jumper it reported ULTRA2-LVD ;)

This is the risk when someone buys his own parts to build a pc.
And a booklet with a scsi drive is probably too much to ask these days.

---- dmesg ---
da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
da0: <QUANTUM VIKING II 4.5WLS 3506> Fixed Direct Access SCSI2 device
da0: 80.0MB/s transfers (40.0MHz, offset 31, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled
da0: 4350MB (8910423 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 554C)
(da0:ahc0:0:6:0): tagged openings now 63
----- dmesg -----

Hmmm looks better...

But strange that things like 'iozone 100' don't go any bit faster with this setting..  

Anyway thanks for the help.

Ron.
