I have and been using LVD drives both Seagate and IBM with 2940UW. The LVD drives will work single ended with a UW cable and the addition of a SE/LVD terminator.
The terminator is not needed with single ended drives, so if you upgrading you will need to add a terminator at end of cable. An alternative is to use a single ended drive as last drive, and all others can be LVD. SE drives have inbuilt termination, LVD do not. Note: Note the performance will drop to 40MB/sec though, if you want the LVD performance you will need to upgrade card as below.

David x2707 mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur. just a quick one: can a normal adaptec 2940UW scsi card handle LVD disks? or do they require a "special" card? ta, Dave. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
