Just a data point for both of you: I have 3 machines [2 home, 1 at
work] that have these drives with various controllers [BT-946C,
Compaq AIC-6260, Adaptec 1542B] and various OS'es [NetBSD, NT, DOS].
Never had a problem with the drives in any of the machines... My
NetBSD machine has /usr, /usr/local, and /usr/tmp on the Conner, and
it works just fine... [Although the drive in the NetBSD box is on
the 6260 controller, so the 1542 driver could be at fault, but it's
been working for so many people over such a long time that I can't
believe it would be causing the probs.]
What ID does the drive feed you back?? I believe at least 2 of mine
say "Conner CFP..... 2035" where I assume the 2035 is the firware ID
or revision. I'm not at work, so I can't check on the 3rd one.
