SysRefMan_17 clearly states (for those smart enough to read it :) ) The "SCSI tests" parameter enables more comprehensive testing of the SCSI interface (but only if the SCSI bus is terminated by having a SCSI drives installed either internally or externally). Since I don't have a drive, it obvious is not going to work. Sorry to waste time..... -Chris
