With my current configuration, I get the following lines in my dmesg output: scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices scsi : 1 host. I do not have any scsi* devices listed in /dev , but I do have scd* listed. Should I create a scsi0 device? Would that be what it's looking for? thanks ------------------------------------------- Lucas Vogel, Software Developer Exponent Failure Analysis Associates, Inc. lvogel@exponent.com (623)587-6739
