[comp.os.minix] Minix ST Harddisk driver

Hi there,
I recently bought a 49 Mb SCSI drive with an ICD-Hostadapter. With my old
Harddisk (a Vortex HDplus 40) Minix run perfectly on my Mega ST2 (I have
a hypercache, this is a 16 Mhz board with 8 kb cache ram, installed).
With my new hardisk and my Mega ST minix will not come up. With a friend's
Mega ST2 (no Hypercache) and my harddisk Minix runs normally. I recompiled
stwini.c with debug on. It seems as if the driver sometimes can read the
partition block and sometimes not. But even when it reads the partition
block, the next read try will fail. Has anybody had an similar problem or
clue?
	Thanks in advance
