Cyberstorm MKII and UWSCSI
« on: December 21, 2005, 02:14:39 AM »
Hi!

I just bought an 9Go IBM HDD with lvd 68pins connector and I want to connect it on my CSCSI, so i bought some kind of 68 -> 50 pins adapter, but it do not work !! I tried with Single ended jumper enable/disable and differents IDs and even the disk alone on the CSCSI...
Is there some incompatible HDD drives or...?

Some guys here that have this kind of configuration (but working:-)) ?

I have something similar - using a compaq uwscsi 9gb drive.

I found a small 68 ribbon cable (actually used internally in rack mount servers - working in an it company has its benefits! ;o) ) which had 2 connections, plus a permenant inline terminator at one end.

I have a 50 pin ribbon cable from the cyberscsi, to a 50 pin male to 68 pin female micro connector, which I then have the lead plugged into.

I believe the problem with adapters such as this is that you need to make sure you are using a terminator that terminates all 68 pins on the UW side.  Using a 50 pin terminator means you still have 18 pins unterminated.

If you need more info, piccies etc let me know.

Hi there, what other SCSI Devices are you using on your CSSCSI?
Also, what is the model number of the 9GB IBM Drive you have there?
I may be able to help you sort this.
