So this drive is the only SCSI device on the bus it's connected to? One thing to remember is that SCA80 connectors were invented as an all in one connector with power, data and SCSI ID all provided and controlled by the host adaptor. That way drives can be swapped in and out without needing any reconfiguration. To use them with a 50 or 68 pin cable requires an adaptor to seperate out the data, power and ID lines. I suspect the SCA80 adaptor you have, or some setting on it. To convert from SCA80 or 68 pin to 50 pin you need an adaptor that properly terminates the high byte or the "upper" 8 data lines. Check the info on your adaptor for anything about high byte termination. ===== "When you are wrestling for possession of a sword, the man with the handle always wins."
