Re: [PLUG] More SCSI Weirdness

[jazzman@exdomain.org]

The cable is brand new, but I admit to not knowing too much about any scsi 
specs. The cables appear to be good, though, since I can access a single 
drive with no problem. The drives themselves are in a SUn 711 external 6 
drive case with spacing and fans for proper cooling. The power supply in 
the external case should be fine for the task. I can check the SCSI id 
jumpers, but tha tdoesn't appear to be a problem. I can usually see the 
car detect all 6 drives and ID them as "Target X" where X is 1-6, but then 
the card starts throwing the QUEUE_FULL messages.

Thanks though :)
