For what it's worth, I bought one under perhaps the same group purchase and it works flawlessly for me on my Mac running OS 7.1 and Retrospect 2.0 backup software. Good luck! But I am having trouble getting it recognized by my '486 NetBSD-0.9 system. (Note: I have an internal SCSI disk and an external SCSI CD-ROM that both work just fine off my Adaptec 1542C adapter.) I have some ideas, a combination of which might lead to a working system, but I know little about these internals. Some guidance would be muchly appreciated! 1) the 386BSD FAQ says: ...the original SCSI drivers didn't recognize any devices past the first two (ID 0 and ID 1). Also, there was a bug in the distribution floppy regarding the devices at ID 6. The 'dev' files for that id need to be remade. Use MAKEDEV to do that. I think that 1) this FAQ is out of date (?), and 2) I know I can use a different ID than 6, but how do I check devices at ID 6 in any case? And how do I use MAKEDEV to fix 'em? (I read /dev/MAKEDEV and saw nothing having to do with SCSI device ID number configurations.) 2) "/sbin/dump 0uf /dev/nrst0 /tmp" --> "bad sblock magic number" What does this mean? Is /dev/nrst0 the correct device to use? How can I tell? (Note: "ls -l /dev/nrst0" yields the following: crw-r----- 1 root wheel 14, 1 Jul 21 1993 /dev/nrst0) Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. -- Fen ~~~ WE ARE EVERYWHERE! JUST SAY "KNOW"!
