I just bought a 4G SCSI hard drive from a fellow on the swaplist and I'm
confused about the jumper settings.
The drive is a Quantum Fireball SE, and I looked on their (Maxtor's) site
and I'm still confused. With no jumpers on the A0,1,2 points, It's
registering as ID 4. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as the only
other SCSI device I've got is a CD-ROM (ID 3). But is this normal? Would
there be a way to change it if I need to in the future?
I'm thinking it came from an external case, and perhaps the appropriate jumper points were soldered on the board for whatever reason, but I haven't gotten out a meter to check that.
Also, since it's ID is 4, and the CD is three, which one would get
terminated? I know I know this, but for the life of me, I can't remember
right now (I guess the whole ID 4 thing is confusing me too much).
Right now I've got the HD terminated, and CD-ROM has been untouched (I don't know if it's terminated or not, though probably not) This is in a 7300/200 on the Fast SCSI bus if this matters.
Any help in getting me unconfused would be greatly appreciated,
You'll find a lot of info at the web site. Check it out! You'll find more info than you need there. I just took care of some HD issues on a PC I fixing for a friend.
