Thanks for your reply.

DOH!
Since I loaded FreeBSD from the Walnut Creek CD labelled FreeBSD 
2.2.2 I thought it was the 'stable'. I'll get onto the ftp server now 
and get it.

I haven't built my kernel with AHC_TAGENABLE and I'm assuming the 
default is #undef.
I had thought about (tried, but gave up) using another device as the 
termination (I just don't trust that Iomega terminator) but its tight 
inside that PC and rearranging cabling isn't easy.

At the moment I have:
2940 - disk 0 - disk 1 - Jaz.
Someone suggested that I turn the disk drives upside down such that 
pin 1 faces the other way, that way I can run my scsi cable so that I 
have 2940 - Jaz - disk 1 - disk 0, if you know what I mean.
