Yes! finally the solution that did the trick! 

No problems at all with the 12-Gauge or CDR-25 now, and I am confident 
the same would apply to any other type of drive plugged into the 12-Gauge 
SCSI from now on.

Yes, I also found that the -r switch, which you mentioned in a previous 
msg, did not work with the official NetBSD 1.0 version that I am using. 
It appeared to read the old value but did not change anything. (I also
found that I had to do the change on the Amiga side. The netpatch.bsdexe
version bombed out with 'ld.so: main: libc.so.1.1. No such file or
directory' -- possibly because I have not installed the entire distribution. 
However that is hardly a problem now). Thanks for your help.
