I suspected the cable a while back and bought a replacement, which had no
effect. I have just ordered another card too so I will see if changing it
will help when it arrives. None of the devices are terminated themselves as
far as I can tell, but when I replace the card I will check again. Also, I
now have pka0_soft_term set to "on" as you recommend.
Thanks
Rob

study it carefully.
I know the KZPBA-CX (and its differential cousin the CY) far too well for
my
own good :) I've never successfully used both
internal and external ports
even though the card itself is supposed to auto detect and either do a
soft
term or not depending on what's connected to it.
I've had a LOT of problems with the internal SCSI cable on the 433 and
500,
pka0_soft_term should just be 'on' so if
you're having issues it's either
the
card or the cable.
Other thing to check is that your devices aren't terminated themselves,
providing TERM PWR is fine but not actual termination.
