Help SCSI-2 termination of Jaz drive internal?
« on: May 15, 2006, 09:43:46 PM »
Hi -

Thanks in advance for any help !

I have an Iomega Jaz drive SCSI-2 and
wondered how to properly swap it with a
ZIP drive that is presently in my
Amiga system?

My ZIP drive is ID 4 and not terminated.
It sits between a CD drive (terminated)
and two HDs (non-terminated).

The SCSI drive has no jumpers for
termination.  I'm just wondering if
it is a native "unterminated" device
(so I can just pop it in where the ZIP
drive is) or "terminated" in which case
I need to put it as the last device
and remove the termination block from
the CD drive.

Any tips are appreciated !

Hmmm - I came accross the drive second hand and it did not have a special SCSI cable with it.  While the manual does not show a special cable it is kind of implied, isn't it?
This cable seems to have a terminator at the end of the cable itself.  However, with the drive "in the middle" of a SCSI chain not needing termination I guess I can just add it in and leave the termination on my CD drive.  I'll give it a try and see what happens ! Thanks .
