Does anyone know how to set jumpers on a SCSI drive to use 2 HDs?
I have the address jumpers down, but what is "drive motor enable" and "parity/no parity" mean?
Also, OS 3.1 will not read or save to my
Seagate Barracuda 15150n drive. I have tried every jumper combination that I can think of and nothing works. Maybe the drive is bad?
HD tool box will not read the drive info either.
Help meeeeeee. :-x  :-x

Dave, I'm very sorry that I haven't sent you that info yet.  As soon as I saw this thread I knew it was you.  I'll try and pop the case on the Amiga tonight and see how mine are set.   What was the other drive you got? Or were they both 15150's?

I'm almost sure that's the same drive as I have in my A3000... but the more I think about it (it's been a while since I installed it), the more I think mine may be a Hawk drive instead of a Barracuda.  I'll still look and see.

Well Dave, I've looked at my drives and the one that I thought was a 15150N (Barracuda) is actually a 15230N (Hawk).  I have a few 15150N's but they were all 68pin and at one time they use to be in my PC.  Sorry to tell you the wrong thing.  The other drive I have in there is a Seagate ST34371N (Barracuda).   If you cannot get that one to work for you let me know, and I'll pull the second Hawk drive out of my machine and swap it to you for one of yours.  I basically just had it there for a backup anyway.

In the mean time, here are the jumper settings according to Seagates website:

Let me know what the results are.
