[SunRescue] Something special about a SUN 2x CD?

[RogerBlakerogerblake at btinternet.com]

I don't think this is the device . This is a classic SCSI cable
or termination problem.

I've just spent a day with a similar problem involving a
HP DAT drive that was corrected on changing the
cable. The duff cable looks perfect - SCSI can sometimes
be *very* fussy especially on SUN systems.


                                                              Best Regards

                                                               Roger Blake
