It's got one Ultra SCSI connector (8 bit, 50 pin) for port A, which is connected to a CDROM with termination enabled, and a Ultra SCSI2 connector (16 bit, 68 pin) for port A which has nothing connected to it, and a Ultra SCSI2 connecter (16 bit, 68 pin) for port B to which I have an IBM Ultrastar LVD drive with a LVD/SE terminator on the end of the cable. No matter what termination settings I use in the BIOS, FreeBSD always tells me that port A is incorrectly terminated. The current BIOS termination settings are for termination on for port A, and port B enabled, which seems to be what the manual recommends if I only had 8 bit or only had 16 bit SCSI on port A. Do I need to move the Ultra SCSI2 cable from port B to port A, and set up the termination to high byte only to match the example in for internal 8 + 16 bit devices? Just how independent are the two ports, anyway? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
