- <> WN> I have an IVS Trumpcard Professional SCSI controller. There are two 50
- <> WN> pin SCSI headers on the board. I have a Quantum LPS270S hard drive
- <> WN> hooked to one of the headers and I have purchased a socket 50 to SCSI I
- <> WN> adaptor so I can hook my SyQuest EZ135 drive up to the second 50 pin
- <> WN> header. My question is, What should I do about termination? Should I
- <> WN> leave the terminators on the Quantum and the EZ drive? They are going to
- <> WN> be on separate ribbon cables hooked to separate headers on the
- <> WN> Trumpcard. Any ideas?
- <>
- <> A friend of mine tried a Iomega ZIP on his IVS Trumpcard (not Pro).
- <> Impossible to make it working. The controller found the Zip drive
- <> but is not able to format a cartridge (SCSI error).
-
- I just booted with the TCUtils disk that came with the
- Trumpcard Pro and it recognized my EZ135 drive. I then setup
- the cartridge as one big partition (128 Mb) and the software
- formatted the cartridge for me.
-
- The Trumpcard keeps polling the SCSI buss to check for disk
- insertions. It works great!
-
- <> But concerning Trumpcard, are they still alive?
-
- I believe IVS is gone.
-
- <> What is the last version of the EPROM (seem to be 4.9)?
-
- Dunno.
