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.
There are four jumpers on my PCI card, two labelled LED (obviously just the indicator so unimportant seeing as the drives have their own LEDs) and two with no label. Would these have something to do with it? There is no pin connecting them.
It's late and I'm jumping in without reading the whole thread, and it's a long time since I did anything with SCSI but ... Has Paul actually posted full details of all his equipment anywhere? Exactly what adapter and drives and cables and how plugged together? Are these drives internal or external and mounted on which side of the controller/adapter, for example? Has he read and understood all the relevant manuals or does he still have questions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
