- Wow .. your machine is a mess.
-
- MBR-7(t) - Controller - 540E - 525 - 540M - DAT - 730(t) - 3401(t)
-
- Since you *claim* you must use incorrect SCSI termination to get your setup
- to work, I suggest you pull the termination off the 730, and replace the
- termination on the MBR-7 with a quality ACTIVE termination pod, and replace
- the -04 WD controller chip with one of your -08 chips.
-
- Since you have THREE devices that make heavy use of reselection, and the -04
- WD chips do not handle reselection properly, you only have one choice in this
- matter.
-
- Are you SURE that your controller termination sockets are empty (just a
- thought here)
-
- I'm sure Joanne will fill you in if any of the devices you own are known to
- interact poorly ... that's beyond my knowledge.
-
- Also, what backup software do you use? It could simply be a piece of crap ..
- I highly recommend Diavolo Backup; there is a demo on the Aminet for it.
- Be sure to download the 3.x revision .. the Aminet administrators forgot to
- delete the older Diavolo when the new archive was uploaded.
