- Thank you for this info. I just donwloaded the new firmware files from
- adaptex but they show the same problem !
- (BTW Are the files on adaptex also available via ftp, if so at what address ?)
-
- But finally I solved the problem.
- Poking around with SCSICNTL I noticed that the CD-ROM drive was the only
- one running ASYNC the other 2 disks were running SYNC.
- So I changed the (enhanced mode) setup for the CD-ROM to ASYNC and
- IT WORKED !!
-
- It seems to me that the 1740 firmware does not correctly react on a reject
- to a sync-mode negotiation request. (The 1540 seems to handle that ok)
-
- Should I report that to Adaptec or are you listening Roy ?
- (What is the official E-mail-@ for Adaptec ?)
