Hi All. Recently, my 68 pin 6 Gig SCSI UW drive died. I figured that as long as I was going to have to get another drive, I might as well make it bigger. So, I got a refurbed 68 pin LaCie/IBM (UltraStar 18ES)18 Gig LVD drive. It doesn't show up on my desktop. Having bought and installed many different SCSI drives over the years, I know the basics, but know nothing about LVD. (7600 with Initio 9100UW card)
I hooked it up where the Seagate was hooked up (using the same 68pin connector), with an ID of 8, Term power on (jumpered), Enable Auto Spinup (jumpered). It came with a jumper on "Disable unit attention". Tried it with and without jumper. I put a jumper on "Forse SE mode". I even tried a terminator plug on the end of the ribbon cable. It is the only device on that bus. So, what I want to know is, do I need to use a LVD terminator plug even though the LVD will be used in SE (single ended) mode? Is there something I'm overlooking. One other question. Will all drives spin up with just the power connected? With my dead Seagate, you can hear the drive spin up with only power attached, when I boot the computer. I don't hear anything when I boot the computer with this drive connected with power. TIA STeve -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
