[snipped my error messages]
Looking at this - it seems the SCSI code that changed between .121 and .126
is now ignoring my BIOS settings. With .121 the drives negotiate at 10 adn 20
Mhz - now the first one negotiates at 40, and refuses to go any further.
I've tried setting the bios to not negotiate a sync rate, and to setting the
sync rate to a slugs pace, and it's still wanting to run at 40.
Clues, anyone?
(Please note: This works -perfectly- prior to 126.)
