I just spend a whole day going through the documentation and I cannot seem to find the exact set of commands to issue. Since I am waiting for a cable I have been forced to hack with out touching the computer :-(, probably safer in the long run :-). My guess is that I simply set it up as a quarter inch drive and let the SCSI driver handle the rest. This is probably incorrect, but it seems like a good place to start. Does any one have any better advise? ========================================================================= | |===============================| | John Buchanan (juancho) | buchanan@cs.ubc.ca | | Imager Manager |===============================| | Imager | (604) 228-2218 | | Department of Computer Science |===============================| | University of British Columbia | Standard disclaimer | | Vancouver, BC, Canada | included in this | | | box, right here. | =========================================================================
