SCSIMANIAC 0 Posted July 5, 2000 Greetings all, I have a Supermicro P6DGS motherboard with onboard Adaptec AIC-7895 Ultra-Wide SCSI. Currently, I have two hard drives, a IBM DDRS39130 Which is a SCSI-2 LVD drive, and an IBM DFHS 4.5 GIG drive. I know that to use the Ultra 2 LVD drive, I need an active terminator, but here is my question, The DDRS39130 is an ULTRA2 LVD drive and the DFHS is not...so how can I run both of these drives on the same chain? I am using a normal Ultra-Wide 3 device cable, and have the jumper set on the DDRS39130 so that it runs in Single-Ended mode...to avoid possible conflicts with the non-LVD IBM DFHS drive. Can someone help me with my configuration...I know there is a problem somewhere..but can't nail it down...appreciate any help.. Thanks! Share this post Link to post
JediBaron 0 Posted July 5, 2000 I've never tried using 2 different SCSI types on the same chain other than SCSI1&2 devices. All my drives that I use now are all LVD. But you may want to try using the pnp on the drives and let the SCSI assign them. Practically all the newer SCSI cards that I've seen have that ability. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post
SCSIMANIAC 0 Posted July 5, 2000 Well neither device has SCAM capability...I have assigned the 9.1gig to ID 0 and the 4.5 to ID 1. This isn't an ID problem..that's for sure.. I am trying to find out whether I should use an LVD cable for both devices or whether I can keep my cable and just adjust my settings.. I have the LVD drive set for Single-Ended mode VIA jumper.
