Most likely because the setting for "extended translation" was not the same on both controllers. This is one reason to *always* hit "retore factory defaults" in SCSI-Select when you purchase used controllers. The actual setting for extended translation is in the Advanced Controller options of SCSI-Select. -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
