Flyer and SCSI drives
« on: February 18, 2013, 04:28:17 PM »
Hi,
 
I bought a Toaster Flyer and it has 3 SCSI connections. 2 for video and 1 for audio.
 
I will be connecting only one drive per cable.
 
Do the drives need to be terminated? If yes active or passive?
 
THanks

I just picked up brand new 73GB Seagate Cheetah 10k drives for $20 each.
 
I will use short cables and have passive terminators on each drive.
 
I will let you know how it works.

By the way, for the flyer how many inches is short? Will 24 inches be too long?

Everyones suggestion to use SCSI to IDE adapters was a good one. I looked at this first. The only problem was the best price I could find the ACARDS for was $80 each X 4= $320 + hard drives. So I thought 4 drives at a total cost $80 was the way to go for now :)
 
Now I need to order cables. Hopefully my flyer will show up soon :biglaugh:

When I meant short cable I meant how short do they need to be not to have to worry about temination?
