Howdy, I'm trying to use an 88Mb Syquest drive here with an Adaptec
AHA1542C Controller. It seems to mostly work however when I try to
copy files onto the drive (i.e. "cp -r src /mnt", it gets LOTS of
"aha0: device 0 timed out" messages and even a few "aha0: MBO not
free" messages yet still SEEMS to work ok. (However takes a LONG time
to copy).
Has anyone else tried this combo? Or have any suggestions? Also,
is there an "official" database for disk tab entries, I bullied
the install script off the fs disk to help me create a disktab
entry the easy way, but sure would have been nice to just "grab"
one :-)...
Thanks!
