Warpengine SCSI troubles

[LoadWB]

My Question is: Is it possible to use CD-Rom drives on the Warpengine - because I'm starting to doubt that it's possible :-)

I had a CD-ROM and a Zip drive on my WarpEngine 4040.

As always with SCSI: check termination & termpower (JP1)
No need to run HDToolbox or such, just install, setup & mount the CD driver.

I think the problem he expressed was that just running HDToolbox caused a reset.

I recall having a problem similar when I first got my WarpEngine.  I believe I resolved it by putting termination on the accelerator.  In the end: termination on the accelerator (the beginning of the cable,) TRMPWR from the hard drive, then termination at the end of the cable past the Zip drive.  Also, as I believe has been mentioned in other SCSI trouble threads, applying TRMPWR (or TERMPWR) from multiple devices should not hurt anything.

Actually, only the drive end was terminated - so I've just ordered some passive 50pin terminators so I can put one on before the scsi controller too, as I understand it must be terminated both ends of the chain :-)

Good luck and report back as to how it goes.  The WE should have headers for resistor packs next to the socket.  If you have packs available, you can do that a little more easily than hanging another position off the board with a terminator.  I would think, anyway.
