Has anybody seen this combination? We've got one and are finding that the Sun "features" tape to support the 7053 doesn't work. (vague, vague). The major symptom is label read errors, giving me the impression that the controller is not seeing the disk too clearly. Any configuration hints? Words of advice? The system is a Sun 3 running Sun OS 4.0. -Juan Collas, ICAD Steve Carr ARPA: steve@icad.com

We've also had the very annoying problem that we can't read the disk because after a random number of sectors are read (no more than the first 3 cylinders, usually within the first) it Watchdog resets. Is this a subtle hardware problem with our system or a 753 bug? It formatted fine but under any kind of analysis (READ,TEST,REFRESH) it resets the system. We've tried booting this machine off the net and off its local 70 meg SCSI drive. Murf John A.
