Does anyone have experience with the LUCAS board and the newest (3.0?) version of the CLtd SCSI software. We built up some boards and the LUCAS boards will work with the old CLtd software, but one gentleman was using the newer SCSI software and he can not get it to work. The board works fine with my SUPRA controller.

The >board works fine with my SUPRA controller. i haven't got a lucas board, but i do have scsidos 3.0. as i recall, there is a setting in there somewhere which tells the scsi software to NOT wait for the first byte of a transfer from the hard disk. they say that this doesn't work with adaptec boards, and i have an adaptec and they're right. so this is obviously a timing dependent thing. if your friend has this no waiting option enabled, lucas may be too fast for it. have him try turning the option off and see if the problem goes away. i believe turning it off is a matter of simply running the mountlist editor or whatever it's called to change the value of that flag. --Scotty
