Steve,

That is terrifically helpful, thanks.

Yes, I found out that the basedev=os2aspi.dmd statement has to have the
switch "/share" changed to "/all."

I will try that when the drive gets here.
I see also that RSJ has a newer manual out, so I will download and check
that out, too.

SCSI stuff is still very new for me. I appreciate the support.

Sandy
