I am currently having problems transferring data between my two hard
drives. I have a 20 Meg ST-506 (3.5") drive and a 40 Meg SCSI (3.5") [8051S]
drive. Data transfer from the ST-506 drive to the SCSI drive works fine.
However, the other direction doesn't. If I try to transfer large amounts of
data to the ST-506 drive, I get a visit to the Guru - guaranteed! This happens
with both WorkBench and CLI copies. Needless to say, this is somewhat annoying.
The SCSI drive is formatted FFS (except for a small OFS partition.) The ST-506
drive is formatted OFS. Is this a transfer rate problem? (I wouldn't expect
Gurus, but what do I know?) If so, will setting the MaxTransfer parameter
on the ST-506 drive fix it? What should it be set to?
Thanks,
