I think I will next try physically moving the drives about in order on the scsi bus. I doubt this will help in any way as I do not see how the drives know what order they are physically connected, only their ID number set by the jumper pins.
But who knows, maybe some electrical interference between drives? Or compatibility (even though they are all hp drives? On SCSSI it does matter. Similarly, you need to place terminator resistors at the end (both ends) of the cable run - or you get signal bounces and interferences.
Would my SCSI Card have terminator resistors built in? I assume it must do because it has worked for over a year and a half with no problems and works with my other drives.
Well, look at the photos John Andersen posted in those links. I don't have any SCSSI hardware, but I guess that a low voltage resistor tester would find out. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
