I seem to be having a slight problem with my HardFrame/ST296N. Last night it worked fine for several hours, until... I started to load a program, and then the r/w-led just stayed lit. The program didn't load and there were no sound of the r/w-heads moving. After C-A-A, the r/w-led blinked, as the controller tried to boot. The boot failed. I switched the power off and tried to cold boot. Well...the HF doesn't even find any SCSI- devices anymore. I'm intending to test the controller with a working hd, and I'm interested to hear if someone has had similar problems either with HardFrame or ST296N.

The program didn't load and there I had this problem with my ST296N (attatched to a StarbDrive). Turns out that the drive was getting too hot. Once I got it properly mounted and ventilated, the problem went away. -- --------------------------------------- Eric Kennedy eric@eklektik.pgh.pa.us (formerly ejkst@pitt.UUCP) ...pitt!idis!eklektik!eric
