Always the simple stuff. Block size (still need to find out how to
reset at boot time), SCSI bus length...

Confirmed with SGI engineer, with the Narrow device on the bus we
are limited to 1.5 meters, we'd have been ok with WIDE devices, 3 Meter
limit but we are clearly over.

Will see if I can't get permission to remove SDLT/shoebox and see if
the jukebox doesn't work properly. In the longer term I think we've
convinced the machine owner to purchase/install an additional SCSI card.

                                                thank you,

                                                Brian
