I have to leave my disk drive unterminated for 386bsd the 1742c terminated. Also, I disabled all the bios related stuff and left the scsi seek device and return right after a seek enabled. For Dos I have to leave the 1742c unterminated and the scsi drive terminated and naturally all the bios related stuff enabled. Weird!! With the adaptec 1742B none of the above holds true for the store checked out my scsi drive with an adaptec 1742B and found no problems. All this info comes after several talks with my vendor and them also playing around with my hardware. Also, I am using netBSD because the stock kernel will not even boot, got around that problem by shutting of my disk drive. Must say that I feel that I have been baptized by adaptec. Currently, happily hacking on 1.2GB + 300MB of disk space.
