I ended up putting 2 reply's together and came up with a possible
answer. Someone said that if the 1.3 Gig disk worked okay at the
end of the SCSI chain to put it back at the end of the SCSI chain.
Someone else mentioned that it sounded like one of my SCSI devices
was internally terminated and causing problems when put in the
middle of the SCSI chain.
Well it turns out that the problems do go away when the 1.3 Gig disk
is at the end of the SCSI chain. I will check later when I have the
time to try and verify that the 1.3 Gig disk is internally terminated.
Although my guess is that it is internally terminated. It is very
touchy about which SCSI port is SCSI in and which one is SCSI out.
Thanks again,
Curt
