I have already told you that!!! You are right, it fails :-) I just verified it. Anyway, I now own this drive and now I want to run it. For the time being I will run it from a second AH1542CF I have in that system. I'm presently building the kernel to support aha0 also (had a customized one). Is it a problem with the NCR chip (meaning that it will never be able to run that drive) or is it a problem with the FreeBSD code? > > > -- > Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com > Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD > --Chris Christoph P.
