It's not entirely stable. You need to make sure you're using the newest drivers for the NCR chip. The one shipped with NetBSD 1.0 was quite unstable with more than one drive in my machine. The latest version I'm aware of is 1.49. I've got a back-port of that to NetBSD 1.0; contact me via e-mail if you want a copy. I get about 3MB/sec raw transfer rate on a Quantum Lightening. cjs -- Curt Sampson curt@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
