I have also used it at nearly every position, in fact it was secondary on the second channel when I installed 9.0 and the CD/RW was primary. I never could get it to work in that spot and always got either "not a block device" when trying to mount without SCSI emulation or I/O failure of somesort when using SCSI emulation. Both with and without supermount enabled, of course. It worked just fine from 7.2 onward in the above mentioned spot, that is until 9.0... I have everything working now except LICQ which only works as root.. 'Nother story, 'nother day <G>..... -- Ken Thompson Payette, Idaho Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
