- Summary: Need SCSI help!
-
-
- Just bought a 3000 and am immensely pleased with it, but the hard disk is
- rather puny. (It's a 100 MB Maxtor model). So I decided to swap the 100
- meg drive with the 230 meg drive in my 2500. (I believe it's a Quantum.)
-
- When I remove the Maxtor and plug in the Quantum and power on, the hard
- disk LED on the front pantl blinks a few times as she drive spins, up, then
- I get the 2.0 'insert workbench disk' screen. The drive I'm installing has
- the same SCSI ID as the old drive (0).
-
- The jumper settings on the Maxtor aren't labeled, but on the drive I'm trying
- to install they are: (0 unset, 1 set)
-
- WRITE PROTECT 0
- DIS UNIT ATTN 0
- SDTR 0
- PARITY 0
- AUTO SPIN 1
- then a spot with no pins
- SYNC SPINDLE 1
- RO.TE:SE ONLY 0
- another no-pin slot
- ID 2 0
- ID 1 0
- ID 0 0
-
-
- Then teo other jumper blocks:
-
- CABLE TERM/PCA TERM 1/0
-
- and
-
- TERM ENABLE/RESERVED 0/0
-
- The drive works fine in the 2500 on a GVP HD+ card. I'd really like
- to get this working on the 3000, so I can put the 100 meg drive in the
- 2500 and give it to a friend.
-
- Please Email me any response, and thanks a bunch!
