For each drive, you need to find the manufacturers data-sheet for that model and ensure that all the jumpers are set to enable termination, etc. Usually just two jumpers somewhere that will activate the built-in termination-block. (yes, you CAN find usually find these as PDF's on the web)
AND you then need to check the drive and see if there is (usually a double) row of empty holes.. If you see that little row... There's a terminating resistor block missing... You need to find/get them and re-insert. Or, as John suggests - go find a cable with a terminating block and bypass the whole drama. Guess what I too use :-) Luke On Thursday, April 29, 2004, at 08:04 PM, Jack Gallemore wrote: > Something I haven't exactly found in the FAQs is which jumpers need to > be strapped for proper operations, or maybe I'm not reading the right > ones.

I have a 2Gb and a 1Gb and I also had trouble making them work. In the end a got a SCSI cable that had a built in terminator block on the end. I cut it with scissors so it just had the last two connectors and the terminator, and the 2Gb lives happily in my Classic II :-) Sadly, the 1 Gb had faulty blocks so I just put it on the shelf.
