Well, I've taken a look through the spec (yes, the whole thing), and I didn't really see anything that would indicate what the problem is. So, I've got a couple of ideas: - Hook it up to an NT box (or some other platform that HP supports) and see whether it works. I know this is distasteful, and you might have to install some HP drivers to make it work, but it would tell us whether there is a hardware problem or not. - If it works under NT, send me the changer and I'll try to get it to work. We've got SCSI analyzers here and can send bus traces to HP if necessary.
