I have a machine with a SCSI-2 drive, an IDE drive, and a SCSI-2 CD-ROM.
I just added an unterminated SCSI-1 drive to the middle of the chain (an
ST296N). The SCSI controller is a NCR 53C810 built into my ASUS SP3G
motherboard.
I can run fdisk on the ST296N and mount it, but as soon as I try to
access the mounted partition (a dos partition, if it matters) the
entire SCSI subsystem locks up; I can still access the IDE drive,
but accessing anything on the SCSI bus goes into an uninterruptible
wait. When it is locked up, the disk access light stays lit.
I have to shut the machine off and turn it on again to reset the
system.
Any hints?
