I use a 300gb U320 drive on my csppc. I have an active terminator on both ends of the cable. I have a bunch of scsi1/2 devices too including cdrom etc. The main drive runs at full speed. Only problem I had was when I had two U320 drives and I had to remove the active terminator from one end to get it to work correctly with both (although this was only the case with a certain combination of drives). No idea why. The csppc termination stuff seems to be quite random sometimes ;-)


Thanks for the quick reply, can you describe your SCSI chain now?  Do you have only the one drive on your CSPPC controller, or do you have multiple hard drives plus the CDROM connected to it with the 300gb U320 being one of them?

I have tried several different active terminators and tried putting them in different locations, plus I have tried to use the active termination jumper on the drive itself and still I have not been able to get the drive recognized yet.  The drive should be good, as I got it from a member here and he assured me that it worked on his system, which I think was also a CSPPC system.  But, I have pretty much resigned myself to getting a different hard drive and trying again.  I have even tried it in a second CSPPC system with the same result of no results.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

I have currently

Terminator -- Controller -- Adapter to 50 pin cable -- cdwriter -- cdrom -- UW320 HD -- Terminator

the 50 pin cable then goes outside the case to an old scsi scanner that is sometimes switched on.
