My Blizzard 2060 has a Fast SCSI-2 controller. I acquire cheap refurbed server pulls from time to time. Is it possiblw that the wide, ultra wide and SCSI-3 Drives are downward compatible with the use of adapters? I have three 9.1 GB Ultra wide Fast SCSI-3 drives that I have tried with adapters and I have not been able to get them to work with the Blizzard controller. I have a 9.1 GB Quantum Atlas III, 3.5 series that works fine using an adapter from 50 pin to 80 pin. I have it partitioned into three smaller logical drives. The problem is that it does not say on the drive if it is a higher format than Fast SCSI-2. I have a 50 pin Quantum Atlas II that I can't seem to partition and get to work or get mounted. Every time I try to run Blizzard's SCSI Tools I get a window that comes up telling me it is more than 4 GB and that the file system will not handle it. It is only 4.5 GB. Using Blizzard's SCSI Tools I seem to be able to partition it into smaller logical drives and mount it but it still won't come up un the workbench screen. Also when I go back into SCSI Tools i still get that same window telling me it is too big. Also if it is in the system it causes HD Tool Box to crash the computer on start-up. If I pull the drive there is no problem. Any ideas out there? Thanks.
