H9278 Disk distribution Paneel.. - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Hi,
someone wrote on this list, that the Disk distribution Paneel that is
mounted on the Back of the Backplane from some 11's are faulty and
will destroy data from the disks if two are connected.
I cn't find the posting now...

What kind of (wiring-) fault is this? Are there Fixes known?

There was a thread "RQDX3 DEVOFFLINE Problems" in August / September 2011
where loss of low level format as result of two drives having the same drive
select jumper (or possibly different drive select jumpers when the controller
expected them to be the same) was discussed. Perhaps that was it?

Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
