This is a list of tested devices (by QNX and Customers). Because a device is not listed does not mean it is unsupported (simply no one has tested the device or reported testing the device).

You should also consult your SCSI host adapter manual. Symptom: random errors. Check cabling and termination. Symptom: device is found at all IDs. Make sure that the devices do not have the same SCSI Id as the host adapter. Symptom: device shows up at all possible LUNs. The device has bad firmware. Obtain a copy of 'scsi_util' utility from the update system. Send the output from 'scsi_util device inquiry' to QSSL. QSSL will then add this device to the drivers blacklist so it will not scan the LUNs on startup. Symptom: network contoller drops packets when SCSI devices are accessed. The network controller is dropping packets because it can't get on the bus. Try changing the bus on off times. Symptom: random error with PCI adapter. Make sure that you have an up to date version of the the adapter BIOS as well as system BIOS.
