Re: 68 pin SCSI Drive

To chime in on the 68pin SCSI adapters/drives issue: The 68-to-50pin adapters work fairly well in external SCSI boxes ...IF the adapter + drive fits in the box. (There are some smaller inline adapters, and some shorter right angle adapters.) That's only partly the problem with use of those as i

Re: 68 pin SCSI Drive

Okay if the factory jumpers are on they should be at 2, 3, 5 & 6. That's Address(ID) #6, Auto spin up and SCSI termination enabled (end of a chain). The 68 to 50 adapter should be fine. If you need a different ID let me know. - Original Message - From: > The disk is an IBM DDRS-34560 >

"SCA(80pin) and 68pin connectors have basially the same signals.

There are adapters to convert 80 pin into the 3 seperate 68pin style connectors. The
