As well as the reply posted this group by arvid@math22.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de I have recieved the following two replies via mail: From: jfulford@config.bridge.com >I am having the exact same problem, but I finally go mine to load on an >IDE drive instead of the quantum 245 scsi I was trying to use.
