Interesting. What OS platform and HBA was this for?

Al,
Thanks for that! No macs here but I can source one easily enough so will have
to give that a go.
Although as I mentioned I'm speculating that the ACB4000 is a bit of an oddity
and is "full SCSI" anyway, so will probably work on a Linux PC. As Brad
mentioned, there are some hard-coded sector sizes in there, but there does
seem to be support for 256 byte sector sizes (I'm not sure if I've ever come
across a SCSI block device with a sector size of 128 bytes, although there may
well be some around!)
cheers
