Does it use group 0 or group 1 scsi commands, or something else? Also, is it SCSI-1 or SCSI-2? There is an article in the last Digital News about how a lot of controllers/Device Drivers (on various manufacturers hardware platforms) are having problems with the new >1GB drives because of using group 0 SCSI commands and when they try to write to the space above the first gigabyte they end up overwriting the beginning blocks of the disk instead. -- VAX Headroom Speaking for myself only UUCP: dave@bryce.uucp dave@unislc.uucp INTERNET: DMARTIN@CC.WEBER.EDU dave@saltlcy-unisys.army.mil Now was that civilized? No, clearly not.
