I just move the library, but I've swapped cables as well.
I also contacted the author of the st driver and he reckons
I should try a different sort of SCSI adapter. I'm
coming to the same conclusion, but perhaps I'll try the
author of the aic79xx driver first, since I'll have to
buy an adapter in order to try things.

Cheers,
Terry.
