I am not interested in your operating systems "known to work", and you know as much. Installing OSs may be your hobby, it's not one of mine. 2. I am not interested in hearing what OS you consider working anyways, since that changes daily. 3. FreeBSD 6-STABLE works for me. SUSE Linux 10.0 does not. A few more comments: 4. you did not answer my question. 5. (no need to answer this because of 1 and 2) if you were aiming at a technical definition of "known to work", you'd have to add MS-WIN and Solaris versions and define "long enough". > I have the impression that you are using Linux and Linux definitely > does not fall into this category (since ~ 2001, no SCSI bug I am aware of has > been fixed in Linux).

If so, I'll just quote the URL to the right parties. > BTW: Did you run FreeBSD 6-STABLE om exactly the same HW? Is that a question or an insult? Of course I did.

Not interested. See assertion 3. above. Joerg Schilling schrieb am 2006-02-12: > Matthias Andree <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Change the UDMA mode to a lower setting and try again.

I don't know, and I don't care, because it doesn't matter: the cable is <45cm (I'm not buying longer ATA cables) and both devices are limited to UDMA/33 by design. > > writing a DVD (16X) or such, and FreeBSD (same computer, multi-boot) > > manages -c2scan just fine with UDMA/33, I'd not look for hardware faults > > here.
