I got one of the MacResq refurbished Seagate's SCA 80's to work (finally) in my s-900 by juggling cables through the regular SCSI chain but I was unable to get the adaptor which is supposed to work as well with the Adaptec Ultra Wide LVD card, to communicate with the sixty eight pin connector on the adapter, though I bought the more expensive Ultra 3 SCSI TPO cable and an internal terminator from Cyber-guys, but I didn't get the single ended terminator, not being quite sure what the latter term meant and assured by the salesman that it didn't matter. At Macresq the tech specialist warned me that termination was tricky on the Seagates but I was unable to understand what single ended meant and what pins or jumpers on the Seagate turned it on or off as a single ended drive. Can anyone explain this to me.
In order to get the cables to reach, I had to pull the CD drive off the fast Scsi connection that goes to the hard drives and put it on the slower one that goes to the external SCSI drive. Will this be a problem or is the CD in the S-900 so slow that it makes no difference.
