[ale] SCSI fun n' games

[Tom Simpson]

	I am now in the process of tryingto get a hard drive hooked up to my
Multia. I have a Seagate ST1480N 420 meg drive, a 50-pin cable and a
headache. I am powering the drive with a spare power supply I had laying
around and have the cable run into the case from the outside and connected
to the socket on the PCI riser where the SCSI-2 connector normaly hooks
in.. I have zippo experience with SCSI and, frankly, the data sheet I DLed
from Seagate isnt helping much.

	When I hook the cable up, the drives LED stays on solid and the motor wont
spin up. Even after trimming the locator tab off of the conecctor on the
cable and reversed it, same thing. Even with the other end of the cable
disonected, ditto. With no cable connected at all. it spins up nomonaly.
Fidddling with the termination and Dirve ID jumpers seems to have had no
effect.


	Any feedback would be appreciated.
