Hi there!
After fiddling with software/hardware for five month I managed to get
NetBSD to go beyond detecting my SCSI2-podule now. But the way I did it is
not at all satisfying as I have to remove my SCSI harddisc.
I have no idea where the problem is but a colleague of mine experienced
some SCSI2 harddiscs locking up decent workstations by answering "I am
there" on for *any* selected SCSI id. Funnily enough, this hardware
combination works quite well under RiscOS and the harddisc has the device
id it should have: 0.
Then I heard of a file where NetBSD keeps information on such weird SCSI
hardware.
Is there anyone out with similar problems or - I don't really expect THAT
- with a solution for this weird thing?
My harddisc reports itself as a
IdLuGe Type Capacity Vendor Product Revision
0 Direct-access 2150 Mbytes IBMRISC DFHSS2F 96C3
on a MCD SCSI-Connect podule (hardware rev. 1.01).
Viele Gruesse, regards,
-Sebastian-
