The disk controller (I think) has failed (after year and a half) throwing errors such esp0: Current command timeout for Target 2 Lun 0 sd0: SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset' ad2: incomplete read- retrying when fscking the drive. Repeated phone calls to Uninet Peripherals and e-mail messages to Neil Gorsuch are ignored and un-answered. I suggest caution if you are considering any dealing with this company.
