Now that someone has confirmed it is possible we had better look at the hardware again. You gave us all a big clue; you have 5 targets on your SCSI bus whereas I have only one. I guess the extra capacitative loading may dampen down the ringing which is already known to be a problem with the 1542C. The F (fast) version may just have the same problem but worse! I am going to experiment with different cables and terminations. Cheers ... Martin Allard --
