- I recently got and installed a brand new Ultrastor 14F SCSI host
- adapter (ISA bus) in my 40 Mhz 386 to replace the Always Technology IN-2000
- I've been using.
-
- I seem to be having some sort of SCSI termination problem that has been
- causing my system to lock up at various times during hard disk access. The
- devices I have (in physical order) are:
-
- Archive Viper 2150S tape drive (ID 6)
- Maxstor LXT213SY hard drive (ID 0)
- Maxstor LXT340SY hard drive (ID 1)
-
- I can't find any information on how to set the termination on the hard
- drives, and the tape unit doesn't have any as far as I can tell. I suspect
- the problem is that I don't have the hard drives set for the proper
- termination. If I am reading the Ultrastor manual correctly, I should NOT
- have the LXT213SY terminated, but SHOULD have the LXT340SY terminated.
-
- My former IN-2000 adapter didn't seem to care about SCSI termination
- and worked fine even with the tape drive at the end of the chain. Any
- assistance in fixing this problem would be appreciated.
-
- I have been wanting to install the SLS release of Linux here, but pl1
- won't even see the Ultrastor 14F even though it is explicitly supported. I
- also have not been able to get OS/2 2.0 installed with the 14F in bus
- mastering mode even though I can get it installed in WD1003 compatibility
- mode. I didn't get the 14F so I could run in in slow mode though... ;-)
-
- Thanks in advance for any assistance!
