- What do you mean by the "single ended interface"?

- How about, instead of all the other stuff you posted, you type
- "ls -al /dev/ios0" and give us a look at what devices are defined
- in the SCSI area. Using the sysadm front-end, it's real easy to
- add new devices - took me 5 minutes to add an exabyte several
- nights ago - you just have to make sure that you assign the next
- available SCSI id. If the Pyramid you have has an internal QIC
- type drive, that device is normally at SCSI (if it's a SCSI
- device!) id 0.
-
- So, show what's already defined in the SCSI area.
