But all other thing are runnig ok, the SCSI-BUS provides enoungh
bandwidth for having 7.5 mb/sec raw Data copy, thats more than enough
for a writer, or not?
However, I will unplug my ZIP (itīs an internal and has a normal
fast/U-SCSI-Connector 50 pin, you know that?)

Have a look on my SIG ... Iīm using 2.2.1 without any patches.

Two reasons: my english is too bad or i really donīt know about what
you are talking here, sorry.

I added all the /proc/scsi-Files to my last mail ... there you will
find more you want to know. I donīt know them now ... HDD=0, CDROM=2,
ZIP=5 TEAC=other Adaptec=7
Donīt forget, the Recorder is running very good as a CD-ROM, it cannot
be a SCSI-Id-Problem or something like that, my Adaptec shows all IDs
like i jumpered the devices before fitting into my BOX.

All Infos i have are attached to my last mail als txt.gz-Files. What
else do you need, I really donīt know that.

donīt know, maybe because of the Help for that item:
"This enables the usage of vendor specific SCSI commands. This is
required to support multisession CDs with old NEC/TOSHIBA cdrom
drives (and HP Writers). If you have such a drive and get the first
session only, try saying Y here; everybody else says N."
For me it says: "Do you have one of theese things? No? Ok, let it
untouched/disabled!"
