Thank you for your response!

Here comes what I get and it looks right!

Linux version 2.1.84 (root@SunWave1) (gcc version pgcc-2.91.04 980115 (gcc-2.8.0
 release)) #1 Tue Feb 3 14:31:05 MET 1998

aic7xxx: Loading serial EEPROM...done

Detected scsi tape st0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0

Only two short questions here.

1. First I get no log-messages, because I use the aic7xxx support as a module.
I try "options aic7xxx=verbose' in the '/etc/modules.conf' file, but I get no
success. Is there a way to get this right? Another setting?

2. You can see "now synchronous at 5.0MHz' in the 'boot.msg' log-file, but my
SCSI tape support 10mbyte burst transfer rate, how can I set this up, right?
Option in '/etc/modules.conf' (my preferred direction) or 'kernel boot
parameter'? 'Lilo' setting?

Thank you, again.
Regards,

Dieter
