I've got a CD recorder (CD Studio from Young Minds) which presents
itself as an Exabyte 8200 on the SCSI bus. One way to perform the
step of actually cutting a CD-ROM is to issue the "mt fsf" command
for the device. However, when I do this I get a target selection
timeout. Looking in uerf output, I can see the timeout, followed
four seconds later by another entry:
ROUTINE NAME ctape_orphan_done
ERROR TYPE Possible Software Problem - Impossible Cond Detected
DEVICE NAME EXABYTE EXB-8200
Active CCB at time of error
Target selection timeout
I understand that it is possible to muck with the 3.0 kernel to get
around this:
% dbx -k /vmunix /dev/mem
> patch sim94_sel_to = 90
However, Young Minds can't offer me any help with OSF/1 2.0, which
is where I'm temporarily stuck. (Gonna upgrade -- RSN. :) So in
the meantime, is there any hope of being able to get 2.0 to back
down on how quickly it determines a timeout?
