I'm not running 1.3.88 (just 1.3.81) but I have major problems. When I run certain portions of scilab the machine locks cold - it responds to nothing. It's interesting because the exact same files coppied from my scsi drive to my IDE drive will run FLAWLESSLY. The problem has to be with the SCSI card or the driver software or the kernel (I have tried installing scilab to various scsi drives and it always hangs in the same place - the only constant is the scsi card and software). I do not have any problems running programs from my scsi drive in DOS/WINDOWS (don't you get tired of people saying that?).
I received a letter by snailmail yesterday from adaptec. They mentioned that auto-termination doesn't work under DOS/WINDOWS using older software drivers and that termination has to be forced in the setup. I wonder if Linux suffers from the same problem?
