Hi Abel, Erik and Henning, I don't think that it is a hardware problem because the same hardware works under windows. Unfortunately I don't have another SCSI-device or adapter. I try to check the termination of the SCSI bus even if I don't know how to do it right now =). Thanks for your hints! Greetings, Christoph -- Dipl.Oecotroph.
