Thank you all for the advice. But after doing a builddisk and trying to boot off the new Fujitsu, I keep getting errors like: SCSI unexpected msg:1 This may have something to do with synchronous transfers, but I though that only was a problem in the 030 cubes. Do you know what is going on? len schultz

Do you know what is going on? > That message sounds familiar to me. That's the famous jumper problem, which I describe in the doc "fujitsu.recipe" which is on the archive. If the drive is M226xS series, the problem can be corrected by removing jumpers [1-2] and [15-16] of CNH2 block. Both ends of CNH2. You just have to remove the jumpers, and no reformatting or reinitialization is necessary. This disables synchronous transfer and "inquiry data" (?). I don't know what your drive is exactly, but make equivalent changes to jumper settings. --- Izumi Ohzawa [ $@Bg_78^=;(J ]
