Any updated 2940 drivers available? All devices internal or some externel ? Which cable, how long ? Suitable for Fast SCSI II ? What about Termination ? Really correctly terminated ? Only both ends ? Parity enabled or not ? If enabled, then on all devices. What about Controller settings ? Synchr. negotiation 'yes' or 'no' for all devices. I'd try 'no' if there are problems. What about the machines BIOS settings ? TUNED like hell or not ? Try standard values ... Just a few suggestions... -- andreas@wup.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ - Support Unix -
