- Dear comp.sys.mac.hardware,
-
- I'm trying to put a DEC DSP3105 3.5" hard disk drive into an old
- Macintosh II. Unfortunately I have not succeeded. MacEnvy will
- spot "something" on SCSI ID 1, all formatting (Apples HD Setup,
- Norton Utilities, and Microtech's HD Formatter) software I've
- tried failed to recognize the drive. Microtech's HD Formatter re-
- ported the following when moving the cursor over the "ID 1" radio
- button:
-
- Device Manufacturer: 'DEC'
- Model of Device: 'DSP3105S'
- Device Revision Level: 'T368'
-
- But it would not enable the format button.
-
- I can see BSY LED flash (which is NOT equivalent to the SCSI BSY
- signal) whenever I try to select the drive (using any of the
- above SW).
-
- Below is some spec on the drive and a MacEnvy report of the sys-
- tem. SCSI ID 0 is a Microtech drive which is working fine.
-
- Have anybody used a DEC DSP3105 on their Mac or is there any
- (hopefully ftp'able) generic formatting/driver software out
- there. Oh, BTW I installed two DEC DSP3105's in my SPARCStatsion
- II without any problems.
-
- Thanks in advance, regards Petter Gustad
