Shame on me for not asking.... And a split bus would be nice, I
have a 2nd symbios sitting around just to handle scanner/tape/cdw.
Maybe I'll take another look at that solution after the dust
settles from my latest crisis. I can always put the Adaptec in a
computer that I have sitting around for playing w/ linux, replacing
the 2940 scsi2 that is in there.

Seems to be I can adjust the timeing on the symbios, I'll check
that out.

Well, the drive & media haven't changed since yesterday. Only the
addition of the 3 drives on the chain in front of the CD and
changing CD drive from ID 1 to ID 4 so that the drives would fit in
front of it (easier to pull CD than the drives to change the
jumper).
