for all the FASTLANE SCS Z3 user
« on: March 21, 2006, 12:40:59 AM »
i need some help because i think i am going crazy .
i just buy a fastlane and i got a seagate barracuda 4 gigas 68 pins , so i got the connector to 50 pins but it did not work .
the board does not see it .
ok then i went to ebay i got a ibm 17 gigas 80 pin , and i buy  
the connector to 50 pins . ok os 3.9 sees the hardrive but i does not let format or partition .
ok i went and i buy a new quantun altas 9 gigas 80 pins i got the connector to 50 pins and again 0s 3.9 does not see it again like the seagate .
then i went and  i got rom 8.5 for the fastlane , still same result .
i try a old 1 giga ibm 50 pins and it work ok , and i try a 50 cd rom work ok .
wich hard drive should i buy ??
anyone can tell me what are they using in the fastlane ?
thank for your time

"the other option is to only have 68/80pin devices with a 68wire ribbon cable hooking them all together. then at least the upper 8 bits are terminated, and the host adapter with a 68-50pin plug is on the lower 8 bits."

i am going to try this one

fastlane 50 pin + 50 to 68 pin + 68 pin cable -------80 pin hardrive ----------80 pin hardrive ---------end Active Terminator
i think if i do it that way i dont have to terminated the upper 8 bit.
to use the 80 pin hd i have the connector 68to80 pin.
is that ok
