Something must be confusing you. I've *never* seen a disk have the WP (write protect) jumper set *and* be able to install HPUX on it. WP jumper is the only way I know a SCSI disk can be Read-Only across reboot's. > I think I remember that I once had a tape somewhere with diagnostic software > that allowed you to boot (the tape) and could then turn off read-only on the > disk devices, but it's long gone. If that's not it, I don't have a clue. That must predate SCSI. HP has sold enough unix boxes with other mass storage (eg FL, HPIB). grant
