Wow, now that I have Minix 1.3 on the machine (THANKS HEAPS
Bruce!) I have noticed quite alot of:

SCSI ok with recovery. code 0x17, logical address 0x<some address, varies>

and a few

SCSI failure, key 0x3, code 0x11, log adr 0x31e, sense buf 0xc462

messages. The first one seems to occur after a few hours of running the
drive and often appears up to 10 times in a row.

The second message occurs five to ten minutes after the first type of message
start and can lead to a kernal panic.

Is it just the driver (remember its Minix 1.3) or could there be a problem
with the drive (a Mini-Scribe) ?

I have held off compiling the 1.5h version of the OS until I can be sure
of where the problem lies.

Thanks for any help,

marcb
