Amiga SCSI Howto?
« on: March 02, 2006, 11:20:26 AM »
My next upgrade to my A1200 will be a SCSI kit to go with my Blizzard 1260. I know nothing about SCSI devices or how to set them up. So I'm looking for a document I can read through that will go through the basics of jumpering and connecting a SCSI hard drive, and how things like termination work. Also, will a SCSI combo CDRW/DVD drive work with an Amiga?

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful.

Cheers

Thanks - that's really helpful. I have a couple more questions after reading through that.

1. What SCSI standards does the Blizzard SCSI kit support? Does this make a difference to the type of drives I can use? For example, can I use this?
2. Does the Blizzard SCSI kit terminate one end of the chain?
3. What terminator should I use for the other end of the chain?

Thanks

Arrrr now I'm confused. Does this mean I can use *any* SCSI disk, as long as I get an adapter to make it fit on the Blizzard's SCSI cable? Or do I need a SCSI-I or SCSI-II drive?

Thanks - I'll avoid the SCA drives and go for a SCSI I, II or III.

Cheers
