- This has been a problem for quite a while now. Unfortunately, I'm too
- ignorant of SCSI workings, so all I can do is whine about it. Would
- somebody PLEASE look into this problem? (Note: I can READ syquest DOS
- filesystems just fine. I imagine I could read minix file systems as
- well, except I can't write to it. It's just writes to blow it up.)
-
- If it helps, I am running a 486DX. Eckehard, do you too?
-
- Thank you SCSI gods
