Gotta love it. Feel ripped off yet? I had a Micropolis 2 GB drive that had the same problem. It's the firmware. And there's nothing that can be done as Micropolis is no longer (as you undoubtedly know). This problem is not OS or architecture specific. I tried the damned thing in a SPARC, with different SCSI controllers, a Windows 95 machine (!!!) and finally ended up dumping it in an old 286 w/ an old ISA controller running DOS (and it will still periodically crash). At least FreeBSD offers some diagnostic messages (the others would just lock up) It seems that this drive cannot handle dis/reconnects properly. I fought with my drive for 2 years. Save your strength... Regards, Stephen Don't worry about the future. Stephen Spencer Or worry, but understand that worrying Lawrence, KS is about as effective as trying to solve gladiatr@sunflower.com an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. -lee perry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
