Allow me to change the subject slightly... Is it true, as implied by this conversation, that 'new' (68-pin, SCSI-3) disks really will work on 'old' computers? I've been trying to attach an external 18GB SCSI-3 disk to my PowerBook (although it will be destined for the Centris 610) with no luck. I have a 68-way to 25-way cable which I connected via a HDI adaptor. And I don't know if it failed because a) the disk drive is broken b) SCSI-3 disks won't work on a SCSI-1 computer, c) I've got the termination wrong, or d) something else. Without a terminator, SCSI-probe gets some id from the drive, but gives an error (-7932(2) sense 4(0)); Lido7 and Mt.Everything didn't like it at all. With a 68-way terminator on the drive all three utilities remained unaware of the drive's existence. Any insight would be much appreciated.
