Has anyone had any success on figuring out the jumper setup to get a Seagate ST15150W (Compaq No. 199591-001). I know these were pulled from a RAID box, but it seems to me that they should work in a PCI Mac... I've DLed the config sheets from Seagate, but haven't been able to hit the right combination... Any tidbit of wisdom would be appreciated...
Arrrrgggggghhhhhh. Not worth the trouble. What's that? You want to do it anyway? My understanding is that some of those old Compaq badged Seagate drives just won't work in a Mac. Especially if the drive was originally tasked for server duty (Pro-liant?, Pro-something or other). I tried one once many years ago. It would not work.
The 15150 is from the early 90s. It is slow (about 4 MB/s) in performance, hot, very very hot, and noisy. It shares these characteristics with the other early Barracuda, the 32550.
