I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the ongoing SCSI discussion. My recent experience can vouch for the fact that SCSI chains can be hard to troubleshoot. I would check the termination, rejuggle the drives in the chain, and check ID's until it all worked, and think that I had fixed it. Eventually some new problem would crop up, and I would have to start all over again. The latest was freezing on startup, from any startup disk. I pulled all the drives except one, and then put the rest back one at a time until the problem resurfaced.
I believe I have now isolated the problem to the Western Digital 18Gig Ultra2 LVD, that came with a 50 pin adapter. I would like to continue to use the drive. I have thought of getting a PCI card that will support the drive on it's own Ultra2 chain, thus eliminating the 50 pin adapter. Anyone care to make some reccomendations? Also, is there anything I should do the drive before I use it again? -- Warren Bowman http://home.attbi.com/~misterbee/ "This tax relief is for everyone who pays income taxes. ... Ninety-two million Americans will keep this year an average of almost $1,100 of their own money." One third of all Americans will never see a dime of that tax cut. Half of all taxpayers will get less than $100 from the Bush tax cut. Those who make more than $1 million a year will get an average cut of $92,000. That may average out to $1,100, but it ain't going to the average family. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
