This probably has been asked many times before... I have a Sun3/160 with
an SCSI adaptor. At the end of the ribbon cable there is a ACB4000
controller with a ESDI drive, I'm trying to connect and exabyte on the
spare SCSI connector -normally used by a 1/4" tape (st0)- and it does not
work.

ESDI DRIVE (sd0)
o At boot time, I get the error
"si0: sc_cmd:scsi bus continuously busy"
"sc0: resetting bus"
o The exabyte does not go through the self test
sequence and the small door will not open.
o If i try to mount any file system on the the ESDI
drive I get the above error plus:
" sd0: scsi failure"
The exabyte SCSI ID is different from 0, with the terminator and without
the terminator on the exabyte, I get the same result. One thing. my Sun
is a 2/160 upgraded to 3/160. Any help will be very much appreciated.
