Please read my post again where I wrote all the informations.

Additionally, scsi-II SE means 10Mbps scsi disks.

I am also in trouble with this problem.
I would like to have informations about the hardware components
(motherboard, cpu, scsi adapter, scsi disk) of PC that can run 9pcfs kernel.

Hello 9fans,

>Please read my post again where I wrote all the informations.

It seems my mail was too sketchy...
I know that, but I would like to have a catalog of a set of hardware
that can run 9pcfs kernel.
I have traggled to build production file server.
However it seemd 9pcfs dislike all my PCs.
I will try once more.
The calalog may give a good information for me what I should buy.
This mail is directed to all 9fans.

For my FS I'm using a weirdo motherboard AZZA PT-51T with 1
64M DIMM for memory, a P5-200Mhz.  It has an ancient ARK1000 
PCI video card (but who cares anyway).  Ethernet is an 
EtherlinkIII ISA (err 3c509B).  For scsi I had been running 
a DTC3130B essentially a symbios logic 53c815 connected to 
a 1g maxtor scsi of which type I cannot remember.  Right 
now the FS is striped across two old 3.5G IDE Maxtors 
using my IDE fileserver stuff updated for 3rd release.

Okamotos problem sounds rather like scsi trouble, just
a guess.  If the scsi has a boot eprom my DTC card does 
it should be possible to exercise the bus somewhat to see 
if the drives are confusing each other for some reason.
