Otherwise CS settings just work. Thats odd, at least for here. Here I have a dvd writer as /dev/hdc, and a 200gig drive as /dev/hdd. Its the virtual tapes for amanda. It Just Works(TM). Using the M/S jumpers and normal cables, I have never had (since the atapi crap finally got sorted about 6 or 7 years back) a problem that required I move a drives identity jumper block from where I'd already put it. Thats from a 3 machine database, with about 10 drives of various flavors installed. Any particular reason it shouldn't work? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
