As this kind of happened to me a few years ago. I wouldn't mind asking a question myself.
I bought one of the cheap 40 to 80 SCSI adapters, so I could use a 73gb (think that was the size, I know it's 70+GB). When I hooked it up my 8500, it didn't see it. I posted about it on 68kmla and the reply I got back. Was that some newer drives are not visible to the Mac, because they are based on a newer mode of SCSI, which the 8500 doesn't recognize. Was that a load of old cobblers? :-/ On Fri, 21 Dec 2018, 7:30 p.m. Jeff Walther, <t...@prismnet.com> wrote: > Just realized, what I was writing was actually mostly applicable to the > SCA 80 pin drives. > > On a 68 pin drive, there is usually a provision for on-board termination > on the hard drive itself, unless it is a fairly modern U2W or newer SCSI > drive. > > Anyway, if there is on-board termination on the drive, just put the drive > on a cheap adapter, make sure it's at one end of the SCSI chain, and enable > the on-board termination on teh drive and you should be good. > > You only need a drive with distinct upper byte termination if you're going > to try to put the drive in the middle of the SCSI chain. > > My apologies for any confusion.
