I installed a Conner CP-3200 200Meg drive as the second internal drive on
an SS1. Initially the system was running 4.0.3 and the drive worked fine.
I then tried to install 4.1 on the new drive.
When I booted off the new drive a got heaps of SCSI read timeouts which
slowed everything down incredibly - however it eventually came up
multi-user.
Does 4.1 use the disk differently to 4.0.3? Can anyone have any ideas on
what could cause this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
PS. Can anyone tell me where I can get some documentation on the CP-3200
- it was supplied to us as a bare disk- I had to guess how to set the SCSI
id, and I have no idea what the other jumpers do.

We use these drives all the time. Make sure that your drive has PROM version 2.03 or later. 1.86 and earlier are known to not work under 4.1 (this has been covered in previous sun-spots). Our distributor upgraded them for us at no charge. |PS.

Have you asked Conner? Leave the other jumpers alone. David L. Markowitz dav@gtc.com
