- I've got a rather strange problem with a system that I just purchased.
- My single SCSI disk drive seems to be responding to all seven SCSI
- addresses. When I boot DOS, it reports seven identical disk drives, one
- at each of the seven target addresses. When I boot the BSD/386 installation
- boot floppy, it also detects seven identical disk drives. Under DOS,
- I can access the drive using either C: or D: with (as near as I can tell)
- identical results. Does anybody have any theories?
-
- Here's my disk configuration:
-
- 486 33MHz EISA system
- Adaptec 1742A EISA SCSI controller
- Fujitsu M2624FA 520MB Fast SCSI-II disk drive
-
- Unfortunately, the system came with the manual for the IDE version of the
- Fujitsu M2624 disk drive (I just got the system on Saturday and havn't
- had a chance to get my vendor to supply the correct manual). If anybody
- can tell me the jumper settings for the M2624FA drive, that would let me
- verify that they are correct.
-
- The problem appears in both the enhanced and the standard (1542B compatible)
- modes of the 1742A.
