Hi Lee,
1) update to the recent umax backend that you can download from my homepage
(address see down)
2) if that does not help, disable the scsi to ide driver, don`t know may be this has a
negative influence!
3) if that does not help:
how long are your scsi cables (internal + external), how is the scsi bus terminated?
Bye
Oliver
