Yes...you should be able to read /dev/sda (or whatever). Is the SCSI chain properly terminated? Is termination power supplied by some device on the chain (the SCSI card, a drive, or some other device)? If the terminator at the end of the chain has an LED on it, but it never lights up, you're not getting termination power. _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
