Hi OSF Managers,
Thanks to Khalid Paden <khalid_at_FNAL.FNAL.GOV> who sent me the only message
re. my problem. I do agree with him to turn off the power, which I already
did but just didn't mention in my mail.
However, The problem cause is different and is known to me now. It's the
SCSI controller. The installed ones are PMAZ-BA. PMAZ-BA is not supported
for DEC 3000 systems !! That's it.
Changing the controller Just solved the problem.
This is Khalid's answer
