Hi Erik!

Friday March 12 1993 11:54, Erik Proper an All:

I'm running a Linux machine using 2 ST296N and ST-01...

I got this message when my jumper settings were wrong. Maybe there are
other reasons, but just have a look at my ST-01 jumper settings:

         W1: open
         W2: closed
         W3: F-G closed

With the combined ST-01/ST-02-Manual, you should be able to find your
ST-02's settings...

But now for something completely different: :-)

By the way: What's the best interleave of a ST296N-via-ST-01 under Linux
?
I'm, using interleave 2 and it's real slow ! Being lazy, I hate backing
up and reinstalling just for interleave investigations...

Bye,
     Ulf
