Hello All,
I've been given an older 2 gig hard drive that according to the label is an Apple/IBM model 'DORS-32160'.
I'm in something of a bind because although I've easily connected the power and data cables, I don't know where to connect the SCSI idea cable?
I'm using a generic SCSI external case, and although it can accommodate two drives [presumably used for a RAID] the wires that connect the SCSI switch to the drive have what looks like a 3 pin receptacle at the end.
On the underside of the drive, there are two rows of pins which so far, have one jumper on them in the eighth position from the right side. In other words, when viewed from upside down with data receptacle at the top, the jumper is on the fifth set of jumpers to the right of the outer edge of the drive.
There's something of an index, detailing what each set of the 21 pins are for. According to this index sticker, and going from left to right, position:
12 = LED out 11 = Disable Parity 10 = Delay Start 6/12 9 = Auto Start Delay 8 = Spare 7 = Disable Unit Attn 6 = SCSI Term On 5 = Disable Auto Spin 4 = ID Bit 0 3 = ID Bit 1 2 = ID Bit 2 1 = Spare [50 pin] ID bit 3 [For Wide]
The spacing on the two rows of 12 pins is such that I can't connect this 3 pin receptacle on the SCSI idea cable. Regardless, I can't determine which sets of pins this cable should be connected to anyway. When all is powered up, the machine wont mount the drive, and I'm prevented form formatting or initializing it with Drive Setup 2.0.7.
The good news is that this and some three other drive formatting and initialization programs do recognize the drive, but all fail to work with it.
I am assuming this is because I've not been able to properly set the SCSI ID.
Can anyone please tell on which set of pins this SCSI ID cable should be connected to?
I've tried doing a Google search on this, and have come up with little to no information detailing on which pins to attach this SCSI ID cable, that at the other end is connected to the SCSI ID switch on the outside of this case.
Thanks in advance for any and all help on this matter.
Cheers,
Bill
