Might be a red herring Rob, but I seem to remember certainly for the
BA356 integrated into the Alphaserver 1000A that the enclosure could be
operated in a split bus mode where half the enclosure was on one bus and
the other half on another.
Just a thought (you might want to cross post this to comp.os.vms).
Mark.
I posted this to comp.sys.dec and someone told me there about the split bus.
I will check this.
Thanks
Rob
Yes I thought about that and I tried changing it
to "on" but it did
not make a difference; and with the "diff" setting it does seem to
work, at least some of the time.
I also just found out something strange. If I remove any devices with
a SCSI ID numerically lower than the CD-ROM then both the CD-ROM and
the higher HDDs are still seen after the SCSI reset. To prove this I
took out DKA600 and changed the SCSI ID of DKA0 to make it DKA500.
This time, after the reset, it recognised both the CD-ROM (ID 4) and
the disk that was at ID 0 and now was at ID 5.

Rob

The QLA1040 isn't differential is it? The soft_term should be just
