SCA drives (80-pin) do not offer any way of termination, nor do newer 68-pin ones (LVD/SE). So either get an adapter with terminator or - if you're planning to use several drives - a 68-pin cable complete with terminators (SE or LVD/SE) and an adapter for your 50-pin controller. Some 68-pin are not satisfied with 50-pin (narrow) termination and may not spin up.

Hello again!!!

I have an SCSI-II 74 Gb Seagate HDD ready to be set up on my Amiga. It's now plugged and has SCSI ID = 3

SCSIConfig detects that the HDD is bigger that 4Gb, says that I need TD64>= 44.4 FFS patch and asks me whether I want to limit the HDD size to 4 Gb. I answer no. As far as I see, I can perform a low level format I haven't done, though.

On the other hand, I've installed PFS3 5.3 but HDInstTools says 'No devices found' one and again.  Please, is PFS3 working on my system?

PFS3 should govern SCSI data movement over Workbench, I think, but what I have now is that Workbench recognizes the HDD in a limited way and PFS3 doesn't even that.

Thank you all.
