SCSI Bus problem
This may not be a problem, but I want to make sure before I go buy another CD-Rom, one that's on the list of tested models by Emu. They say that other models may work, so I want to give it a try.
PC 200mhz/128 mb
My bus is :
Esi2k...Iomega Zip...Adaptec AHA154x
...Pioneer DR-U12X
Esi and zip work well with both cables, so it's not that.
The only thing I cannot change is the termination of the Pioneer (I could change it's ID# with the junper, but haven't tried yet, since I don't think it's the problem). I went into the Adaptec Bios and tried to see if I could change something, but it tells me "Not a disk drive". Is an internal CD-Rom terminated by default?
In the SCSI set up of the Esi, you can of course assign it's ID#, but there is also an option to tell the unit to avoid host on ID.
goes like this; "If a computer is present on the SCSI bus set "Avoid host on ID" to the computers (sic) SCSI ID number."
Now what I read here is : If your Adaptec SCSI ID is 7, set Avoid host on ID to 7. Correct? unless my PC has a SCSI ID#, wich I seriously doubt, but hey, you learn everyday.
Well,if you have any suggestion, i'll gladly try them.
Thanks
