I thought that Doug said DMA snoop wasn't required with V5.X of the tool
kit?
Could you list your HD Driver setting and preferences? I don't have a
SCSI
drive connected right now, so I haven't been worried about the SCSI
Driver
just yet. Should be "Plug and Play" with just the IDE drives. I don't
have
the NOVA installed right now, and am using MiNT and N_AES and NVDI
V4.12.
Nothing out of the ordinary.

Minix-FS. I haven't found where the problem comes from yet, but I have
it
setup on an EZ135, so it hasn't been real trouble.
