Using 8bit transfers (ahc0:5:0): "NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:462 1.14" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahc0:5:0): CD-ROM can't get the size ............... This computer has an on-board Adaptec 7880 Ultra-Wide SCSI controller, a Seagate Barracuda 4LP HD (Ultra Wide, target 0), and a NEC CD-ROM (SCSI-2, target 5). The message I cannot understand is: ahc0:A:5: refuses WIDE negotiation. Using 8bit transfers ahc0:A:5 ??? Target "A" (10 decimal, I guess)???? There isn't any device configured as target 10. I'm afraid that the ahc driver doesn't recognize properly the HD, and that it does 8-bit transfer instead of 16-bit. I don't know if there is any easy way of getting info from the ahc driver about the parameters it's using for communicating with the HD. Any ideas?
