Glad to hear it! Of course, now that you've modified your chain, you realize that a fresh goat sacrifice is needed, right? Note that you *can* put that DDS2 on the end of the chain, but you need an *active* Wide->Narrow converter to do it. Adaptec sells one that I've got keeping a few of my SCSI chains happy. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
