I'm having problems with a Fujitsu M2612SA SCSI drive on my Sun-2/50 (SunOS 2.0). It is connected to both the drive controller board (Adaptec) and a shoebox containing another disk and a tape drive. I had to modify some of the jumpers to get it to work, here are the current settings (per the M2612SA manual): 1) SCSI Bus Parity: Not Execute (drive won't respond the other way) 2) Permission Synchronous transfer mode: Execute 3) SCSI target is set to '1' 4) the rest are standard When I boot 'diag', I can select the drive (target 1, unit 0). I enter SCSI format, type 'format', and I get a 'Mode Select Failed' message (with some other information). Then it goes ahead an spends a couple of minutes formatting the drive anyway. I then exit format, define a partition for the disk, and 'label' it, with no problems. I can even 'verify' the label afterward, and everything looks fine. But, if I enter the 'clear' command, or re-enter 'diag', it gives me a 'Bad Format on Volume' message. I have the following line in my kernel config file: disk sd1 at sc0 drive 010 flags 0 During boot, it seems to notice that there is a disk at target 1, unit 0, but I don't see a disk label like I do for sd0. A 'mkfs' or 'newfs' command responds with 'device not online'. What's up here? Is this a SunOS 2.0 bug (I hope)? I'm waiting for my 3.5 upgrade from Sun, will the problem go away when I get it? Am I doing something else wrong? Thanks in advance... Scott Logan Unix System Support logan%torag@geac.com Torag Communication Systems, Toronto, Ontario ...!geac!torag!logan
