did you notice the comment on the bottom of the Aopen page about sometimes the drivers supplied with Windows 98 incorrectly terminating the motherboard adapter after boot up? In other words are you using the latest Adaptec drivers? Yup..saw that and redownloaded and installed the latest driver from Adaptec. you might try separating your 68 pin and 50 pin SCSI devices. Worth a try..isn't it... this setup has allowed me to terminate the 68 pin cable quite nicely. But just for kicks I'll run the 50 pin cable up to the cd.. you never know. But if this last effort doesn't make a difference I'm just going to spring for the adapter card which with totally separate the 50 pin and 68 pin devices. Thx for hangin in there with me on this Howard

Howard Along the lines of adding an adapter card just to separate the trouble maker Jaz, one though I had was to use my ISA bus instead so to keep free PCIslots for future multimonitor cards. Such as: Jaz® Jet ISA Adapter $89.95 Item: #10347 Provides a multi-tasking interface between your computer's ISA bus and your Jaz® drive or other SCSI devices (ISA-to-Fast SCSI I have 3 ISA slots that finding a job for like interfacing with this Jaz which I'll be using maybe 15 min a month seems prudent. Why waste the PCI slot? Have you had any experience with ISA to SCSI cards? Would it get the job done? I understand USB to SCSI connectors are also available. For the same reasons, these would also be a possible alternative to using the PCI card. Clarence
