-
- I am wondering if anyone else out there is encountering this problem:
- I am using an A2000, with a 2091 Ram expansion/SCSI interface. There
- are 2M RAM on the board (which probably is irrelevant).
-
- The board is attached externally to a Zip drive and three HD's in a
- separate case. I have tried a number of different physical
- configurations, and what I encounter frequently is that when copying
- large amounts from one drive to another, the drive activity light on
- the SCSI interface lights and shines solid even after all drive
- activity has stopped, and, nine times out of ten, I find that it has
- trashed the partition it was writing to.
-
- All drives are external to the machine, the internal terminator is
- soldered in place, and so would prove difficult (though not
- impossible) to remove, and the last HD on the chain has a similar
- configuration (terminators soldered in) which I find more than simply
- annoying, it's bloody stupid! However, that is the way things are
- arranged at this time.
-
- Other arrangements under which this has happened using the same
- computer:
-
- Two of the current three HD's + an Irwin SCSI tape.
- Two of the current three HD's.
- Two of the current three HD's (a different two) +Zip drive.
-
- Right now, I am suspect of the cabling. Anybody else reach that same
- conclusion or have any other suggestions?
-
- Thanks in advance.
