Re: The new build and the Sun Blade 2000

Hi everyone,

That's a thread from a long time ago but I think I found the problem: a
defective SCSI cable in my brand new (at that time) sb2k.. I have replaced
the cable with a wide-scsi cable plus narrow-wide adapters and all the
scsi resets I was getting on my DVD-ROM drive are gone.. So I will be
re-testing aurora pretty soon. I have also made room on an external 36GB
SCSI drive which is now unused since I now have dual 147GB FC-AL drives in
my machine so I will actually be able to -install- Aurora.. :)
