Hi, Dear Sun exports;

I am runing Solaris 2.4 on Sun SparcServer 1000.
The Terminal is NCD16 which running NCDware2.1.0.

*********************************************************************
The problems are done and I knew what changes solved the problems,
But I do not know why and I really appreciate if some exports can
point me something.
********************************************************************

Here is a story:

After I added Exabyte EXB-8500 8mm tape drive on the SCSI borad 0 and SCSI id 5,
without puting the terminator to the end of SCSI chain, then I got following
warning messages in the /var/adm/messages file:

****I understand this related with terminator.

After I put the terminator, the problems are gone, why? why the SCSI terminator related with NCD terminals
log on? Any ideas and explanations are welcome.

Thanks .
