I have enabled UW :) in the scsi bios, disconnected the cdrom on the advice of a previous :) post, and have applied the kernel patch from bsdi which apparently :) introduces support for the features of the scsi card. I suspect you're actually operating in wide mode and that the kernel is "lying" to you about the mode because of the way the driver was written. The current Buslogic drivers do the same thing though the ones that will ship with 3.0 get it right (thanks Terry). :) Chris -- Christopher Mauritz | For info on internet access: ritz@interactive.net | finger/mail info@interactive.net OR IBS Interactive, Inc. | http://www.interactive.net/
