Well it has two SCSI ports on the motherboard, has an option to enable/disable it in the CMOS, and was advertised as having a SCSI Ultra 360 controller. If it doesn't, I want my money back. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813151149 > How do you have the CD drive cabled?

There is a terminator at the end of the cable. If you're asking about something else, then I don't understand what you mean. > You need to check a jumper on your motherboard, the > jumper is: > J92 > This jumper effects the onboard SCSI. > > This is in the manual on page 13 It is open, which is the default. > Enable the boot-time diagnostic screen, enable the > summary screen as well, > and check the boot device priority.

The summary screen doesn't show any SCSI drives, although I don't think it showed my SATA drive either but it's definitely working. I couldn't tell what the diagnostic screen setting did but I enabled it. The boot priority list is actually an oddity It does list "PCI SCSI" but beside it it lists my SATA drive, not the SCSI drive. I am certain of this because it lists it as a Western Digital drive but my SCSI drive is a Hitachi. I am really confused why it lists the SATA drive under SCSI. When I disable SATA, it doesn't list a drive beside SCSI, although the option is still there in the boot priority list. I'm not sure what the deal with that is. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
