I have a habit of vanishing under a heavy work load for months at a time, and too frequently it has nothing to do with *bsd. People trying to use the user SCSI on FreeBSD should look at the nicer interface in freefall.cdrom.com:/pub/incoming/sutar2.gz. It abandons the attempt to be compatable with the SGI interface, but is a lot easier to hack and is oriented toward table driven apps. It uses the same ioctl and requires a few kernel patches that are included in that .gz file. >julian Peter -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
