I Hate SCSI !!!
« on: February 09, 2009, 02:25:37 AM »
Hi,
I started working on my never ending project again ( an A4000D in a toaster oven tower). It was mostly disassembled when I received it, but had an IDE boot drive and a SCSI drive that wasn't connected to anything. I tried putting in a few of the SCSI cards (a DKB Rapidfire, Alpfa Data Octagon, a GVP card and an ICD card). The computer sees the board but not the drive. Is there something special I'm supposed to do? I tried jumpers in different positions, but no luck.
Thanks, Len

Hi again,
I've been playing with the setup (I'm using a GVP A4000 - HC+8 series 2 controller and a Quantum hard drive). HDTools doesn't see the setup (just the seagate IDE boot drive), Sysinfo shows the board but not the drive. The cable only has 2 connectors, only one device at a time. The controller and HD each have 3 jumpers marked SCSI ID, I tried moving these in different combinations ( I don't have any manuals or software), I've added and removed the termination jumper under the HD and tried a SCSI CDROM still no luck. What should I do next?

P.S. I still hate SCSI!!!

I found the hard drive on google (VP32210) and found it is junpered to SCSI ID # 1 and has two termination packs installed. For the controller I found some software for an A4008, which I think is the same/similar to my A4000 hc+8.I need to transfer it from my MacBook and "un-DMS" it. But I could not find a manual to tell me the what jumpers to set for ID # 1.

Oh it's a 2.1 Gig drive and it spins up.
