- SCSI devices are designed to be daisy chained on a SINGLE SCSI controller
- within your PC. Since the PAS-16 seem to have the SCSI controller built in,
- you have to remove the Adaptec controller card and daisy chain the Quantum
- drive to the PAS-16 controller card. If the NEC-84 has a second SCSI socket,
- you should be able to plug the drive cable from the Quantum drive to the CDROM.
- If there is no extra SCSI connector on either the Quantum or NEC-84, you need
- special SCSI cable with multiple connectors.
-
- What else can go wrong???
-
- 1. SCSI devices requires an unique device id. Your default setting on the NEC
- or Quantum may need to be reset. Start with the Quantum as device 0 if in
- doubt. You'll need to consult your manuals to locate the switches/jumpers.
- 2. SCSI - I implementations are not so standard across manufacturers. There
- is still a remote possibility that the Quantum drive may not work with the
- PAS-16 SCSI controller.
-
- If the PAS-16 controller seems to the the problem, see if you can disable it
- and run both the Quantum and NEC-84 off the Adaptec.
-
- Good luck.
