For its entire life (or at least since 1.5h came out) my pc532 has reported a scsi error on the first access to each of my disk drives. Since subsequent accesses are error free, I have just ignored this problem until now. With the arrival of my scsi floppy drive, however, it appears I need to find a solution. The floppy drive does not recover but gives an endless stream of error messages, sense key = 5, code = 24, which translates into "Illegal field in command descriptor block". This is the same error that I get (once) from my two hard drives. Since this appears to be a general problem of initialization I am hoping that someone else have run into this and perhaps even solved it. For the record, the commands I use to initialize the floppy drive are mode select (0x15) format unit (0x04) rezero unit (0x01) and I have run the exact same commands from the ROM monitor of my ICM3216 without any problems. For the hard disks I use the standard initialization commands in scsi_hi.c. Sverre -- Sverre Froyen sverre@seri.gov, sunpeaks!seri!sverre
