Well, I think I made a mistake. (Note, I am admitting this to the list , not my wife).
I was on ebay browsing to get a new ata drive for my beige and stumbled across a mislisted IBM 36G SCSI drive. Well, I snapped it up. When I got it, it turned out to be a SCA LVD drive. No problem, I thought. I've used many SCA drives and had a couple of adapters lying around. I seemed to remember in the scsi world if you can make the plug fit the drive connector without resorting to brute force, it should work. Well, I hooked up the drive, powered up the system and I cannot see the drive. I've tried Drive Setup, a hacked version of Drive Setup that formats IBM drives, Silver Lining, SCSI Probe, and starting up with a Norton CD and none of these will even see the drive. The drive spins up fine and the jumpers are set to the same settings as another IBM SCA drive I have. I have disconnected all other scsi devices from the chain and made sure that the drive had an ID different than the other drive. Do LVD drives need to be hooked to a LVD card like the Adaptec 2940U2B that I sold on the swap list a while ago or should they work with regular SCSI? If they need the card, keep an eye on the swap list for this drive. Thanks, Len -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
