Unfortunately, after trying for a few hours this morning, I have decided that the Rodime drive (SCSI-I) and the newer Seagate drive (SCSI-II) cannot live together on the same SCSI controller. I tried removing everything else except those two drives from the system, and anytime I touched the Seagate drive, the Rodime would lock up. In regards to termination, I tried swapping the drives around and making the Seagate the terminating drive, but no luck either. I also tried 3 different cables. Nothing would make them work together. My other Seagate drive which is also SCSI-I has no problem living with the SCSI-II drive, and the Rodime has no problems when it is running with the SCSI-I Seagate drive. Howver, I did finally get the drive running on my system, but I cheated :-). I stuck in an old Adaptec 1542B card I had sitting around and started running the Rodime drive off of that card. Although I'm not sure it was worth all the trouble I went through just to get another 65MB of disk space... -- Mike Pritchard pritc003@maroon.tc.umn.edu "Go that way. Really fast.
