- Hi all!
-
- I posted back in December that I had problems with installing the 3.1 ROMS.
- I've reinstalled them and after a month all is well except for one thing. The
- A3000's SCSI no longer likes termination on my last drive on the external
- chain.
-
- I have 5 drives on the bus, 3 external with reselection turned off. This
- setup worked fine with the 3.1 softkicked from the bootroms, but now if I
- terminate the last external drive(cd-rom) I get errors and gurus as soon I try
- to boot. The setup I have now works fine and error free except for a rare SCSI
- lockup from the CD-ROM. I also never had a lockup before I installed the
- roms.
-
- My SCSI chain now looks like this...
-
-
- TERMINATED A3000 SCSI(MB TERMINATION REMOVED) NO TERMINATION
