   Decoding SCSI error [got me a re-edjikat   
   27 Mar 23 09:07:05   
   
   From: ohland@charter.net   
      
   Since we're past the frantic part, I wendt back to rightly dividing one   
   of your SCSI errors.   
      
     RDDDPL   QEET   
   0208600U  5A6J   
      
   Leading zero, "208" Unknown device type [not a good sign!], "6" SCSI ID   
   6, "0" LUN 0 [duh!], "U" unknown capacity [not good].   
      
   QEET - Q = 0-8 SCSI POST codes, Q = 9 Adv Diags HD error code   
      
   5A6J   
      
   Error codes (EE) with Q = 4 or 5 may be reported that are not listed   
   here or can actually have a definition other than that given, depending   
   on the device. So, not finding "A6" is quite possumble.   
      
   So, if I understand, "5" does refer to the additional sense byte, but   
   "A6" is not listed, so what that is, dunno. The Test code is given   
      
   5  - Additional sense byte (byte 12) of sense information from device   
   A6 - Not listed   
   J  - Device not ready (initial unit attention clearing)   
      
   So... the system DOES see the drive at ID6, but it can't tell what it   
   is, it is throwing a "Device not ready".   
      
   My furtive efforts would be to jumper it to start up as soon as power is   
   applied. But autospin might not fix "initial unit attention clearing"
