That end is terminated. I reckon it's a termination problem. Both your channels are 68 pin (32 bit?) but you only have an 8 bit terminator at the SCSI 1 end. It should be possible to configure your controller or convertor to terminate the high bits. You almost certainly be a passive terminator but SCSI 3 needs active terminators. Or it could be this problem: http://scsifaq.org:9080/scsi_faq/68_to_50.txt Do a google search for "scsi faq" or ask on comp.periphs.scsi hth Martin
