Re: scsi disk defect or kernel driver defect ?

Hi all!

The problem is solved, if I disconnect the hp streamer
from the bus. I wonder why there is a problem.
The aic7880 has two busses:

ultra/ ultrawide.

The ibm hard disk is connected to the uw port and is terminated.
No other uw device is attached.

The hp streamer is also lonely on the ultra bus. I have
no documentation for that device, so I don't know
whether it is terminated nor if it is using parity.

Btw, can somebody explain what the parity bit does to me ?

Or does anybody have a hp c1536 streamer and can help me ?


Regards,

Nico
