DPS PAR compatible drives. Help wanted!
« on: July 10, 2006, 08:43:37 PM »
Can anyone tell me what big drives are compatible with PAR board? (what he is using?)

In latest readme in release 2.55 (or 2.57?) is list of compatible drives, but those are really small and really old drives (1-2gig max), and i want to use at least 4 gig one (8 will be really better)

I ve tried a plenty of old spare drives (Caviars from 1.6gig, thru 2.1 gig, 4.3 gig or ie. 13 gig quantum etc. etc.) but none of them works :-?

PARTest seems to be stuck at last testing thingy, it says something like "Write error, drive is not compatible".
too lazy to use shift key properly...

 :) so, i will try to repeat my question.
Problem isnt with ide interface (no scsi, thats a hoax, its really for AD3000 capturing card i think),
 problem is ive tried around 7 drives (1-15gb) with no luck!.
(bigger drives always appears as 8GB, so it is limited to this border)


I need answer from someone who is actually using some drive with DPS PAR and can tell me exactly what type and manufacturer is it.

quite a few other Seagate STxxxxA drives will work with this card, the 13GB ST313021A worked (as an 8GB drive) with the PAR card.



so we have at least one type, thanks!
