Date: 7 Oct 1993 01:34:13 GMT Organization: The University of Waikato Lines: 27 Message-ID: <28vrml$v7p@thebes.cc.waikato.ac.nz> NNTP-Posting-Host: thebes.cc.waikato.ac.nz X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Hi all, can someone enlighten me as to why 386BSD does a TEST_UNIT_READY command first on each device and marks the device as absent without an INQUIRY when TEST_UNIT_READY is an optional command. Does noone out there use SCSI devices that don't do TEST_UNIT_READY.... Am I just halluconating? Or is there a really good reason for this? I'm trying to get the WD7000 driver going on a Connor30170, and a Quantum 40M of some description that Linux will see, but the TESTUNITREADY command times out on both devices... ALso whay are the adapters set to address 0? I thought 7 was more standard.....
