-
- Morley tell me the drive is timing out after a seek operation, and the Arc is
- waiting for the drive to respond, and hence it hangs.
-
- Morley also tell me RO3.1 is measurably slower on accessing the SCSI drive
- (since they measured it).
-
- The problem only seems to occur on RZ drives - everyone else's drive works fine
- - so Morley say. I've not heard anyone else complain about Morley's SCSI
- controller.
-
- Owen, the modules you sent are showing the same symptoms - the system hangs. It
- happens very rarely, but makes it unreliable.
-
- Ho hum.
