- I have a problem with an ESDI. My controller is an Ultrastor 12F
- w/32K cache. I have a Magtron 170M disk connected, and I want to
- add a Fujitsu 415M as a second drive.
-
- Problem: The Ultrastor setup utility doesnt recognize the second
- drive. When in the drive parameter menu, the second drive is
- listed as type "none", 0 cylinders etc...I can access the
- second drive(Fujitsu) if I set it up alone. So the problem
- That the drive connected to the middle of the controller
- cable is not found.
-
- Some facts:
- 1) the second drive(Fuj)(middle connector of controller)
- has the terminator resistor removed
- 2) both drives are set as drive 2 as specified for a twisted
- controller cable
- 3) there are no master or slave switches
- 4) both drives are hard sectored (35 sec & 54 sec)
- 5) both are set to spin up on power up
- 6) yes, Ive tried new cables
- 7) the connectors are on correctly (ie pin 1--->pin 1)
-
- Please help! any info is appreciated.
