[comp.sys.mips] RS 2030 mt timeout phantom

cliff@.UCalgary.CA (09/20/89)

Hello All,

   Well, after messing around with the SCSI connectors on my
   RS 2030's and their peripherials, I'm unable to reproduce
   this mt timeout panic reboot that I reported last week...

   I'm assuming/guessing that one or more connectors on the
   bus was loose and was causing the "feature".  Still something
   to be aware of I suppose.

   BTW : both MIPS/Toronto and MIPS/Sunnyvale called me about the
   problem (THANKS!).  It's great to see a vendor with geniune
   concern for their customers.

Cheers
Cliff

I will echo this.  My experience with the MIPS hotline, and field service,
has been uniformly excellent.  It makes working on the machine much more
satisfying when you know people are interested in correcting the problems
you encounter.
