I just can't understand why the developers made this choice. It was set up such that you had to explicitly specify which drives to perform scsi emulation on, and it would leave the rest alone. Now it just grabs up all of them, and leaves you no option to disable them individually. The way they had it was the appropriate solution, and this seems like a regression. -jason pepas ------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
