Hello, I've made a couple of changes (implemented some missing SCSI commands), but now an attempt to initialize (format) a SCSI disk fails with $ init dka500 test %INIT-F-MEDOFL, medium is offline $ Which is a bit strange, because sho dev shows the device as "online". The attempt to format the disk increases the error-count by one. Camiel.
