Seems to me that i could just swap the scsi drives between 2 machines and see if the problem moves. The only bummer there is that the bad machines brother is going to Austraila for a gig. It will have to wait a bit.

is this thing still crashing - a lot - like every few hours?
or just occasionally?
Developer
we both know this is some kind of intermittent hardware failure.
its tough to debug with so many permutations of the components involved.
when i worked at V*L it always used to be the cables and connectors that failed the most - in the most difficult way to debug

Just a note on SCSI adapter cards:
The driver updates and firmware updates go hand in hand. It's not enough to check one or the other - do both.

I have upgraded the drivers and the firmware. Didnt help. Now when I get the units back i am going to start swapping components between the mached pair of machines. The server crashed after several hours of inactivity or at least activity with no DMX applied. Its an odd problem.
When did you work at VL?
