Check out a tiny DOS boot floppy program called "Bart's SCSITOOL".

It is a great program that has helped me troubleshoot SCSI problems.

Here is the link: http://www.nu2.nu/scsitool/

At the bottom of this link, there are about 10 links to other SCSI sites.

SCSITOOL is a diagnostics and benchmarking tool for SCSI (storage)
devices. Currently supported device types are: harddisk, tape, cd-rom,
optical and removable. 

Some of the features are:
. Very extensive destructive (write/compare) test for harddisk, removable
and optical
. Full write/compare test for tape drive, uses the whole tape
. Cd-rom tower test, can read a lot of cd-rom drives simultaneously
(tested with 42)
. Can low level format any number of drives simultaneously (with process
indication)
. Can copy one source drive to more than one target drives
. A benchmark that will give you the real speed of the drive Hexedit at
sector level
. Download microcode (upgrade firmware)
. Best feature of all, it is absolutely 100% free (no catches)
