Arnie, Thanks for the reply. I don't think that mountlist entry is what he needs. He has a controller that controls TWO drives and makes them think they are SCSI, there for he has to have a controller that can support LUN's to get to the second drive on his controller! Hope I made sense there. Without the controller to make the drives SCSI they won't work at all! Keith

I'm not sure I get it after all, if he has a SCSI controller, multiple drives should be daisy-chained with different SCSI IDs.. is it a dual drive in a single box, with a shared SCSI interface and SCSI ID?

Arnie, Yes, he does have multiple (two) drives in a single box. The controller for these drives can handle two drives, making them look like SCSI drives. I think without that controller they have NO interface. Anyway he said the first drive could be accessed as LUN0 but the second one HAS to be LUN1 or the A2090A will miss it completely. Let me know if you have some ideas that might make that controller work. He tried a Supra and although it could handle the LUN's it still didn't work correctly and Supra couldn't figure it out. Thanks. Keith

What controller is it? The ICD AdSCSI host adapter works with Adaptec and Omti controllers fine. Craig

Craig, He has the Supra Wordsync and has had nothing but trouble with it. When he phones Supra they haven't been very helpful! If you have an idea how to get the drives right it would be most appreciated. Thanks. Keith
