- Well, that's just the drive I got with my first a1200, and since I blew it up
- last year while moving my hardware into a peecee-tower I have buried it
- somewhere in my desk...
-
- These are the settings as printed on top of the drive:
-
- Jumpers to set for Stand alone: ACT & MASTER
-
- Master: ACT & MASTER & SLAVE
-
- Slave: ACT only
-
- where 'master' is the second, 'slave' the third, and 'act' the last (=5th)
- jumper, counted from the border-nearest.
-
- I do not know neither what the seagate manufactures had in mind designing the
- layout nor wether these settings will work along those lines, but I assume
- they should.
-
- Btw, I am still interested if there might be some kind of hope in re-
- animating this drive after feeding it with +12V on the 12V _and_ on the 5V
- connection, which was actually a fault of the cables provided by the tower's
- power supply (unfortunately I did not check all of them). A blue flame
- flickered and I cannot say what element went into flames. The position is
- between the drive motor and the at-bus socket. It was ca. 12mm long and might
- have been a resistor or a condensator or... ?
- The drive gives not a single sound this time and did not with several
- resistors at the above position.
