- OK, thanks.

-
- I have no termination resistors on the Oktagon, since it is in the
- middle of the chain:
-
- external tape drive -> Oktagon -> internal CD-ROM -> internal harddisk
-
- The tape and disk are terminated, disk provides termination power, no
- other components are terminated or supply termination power.
-
- By the way, one of the more irritating things about the lock up (apart
- from the fact that it happens at all) is that it doesn't clear on a
- reboot. To clear it I have to reboot with the version 4.7 driver in
- 'Expansion' - and then reboot again with 6.10. Is it likely that this
- will ever be fixed ?
-
- Thanks,
- Richard
