Re: how to slave scsi drives?



Erik,

See http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/scsi/st34520lw.html
for jumper settings, et al, on the ST34520LW disc.

If the disc is not visible even after changing the SCSI-ID, I recommend you
try, in the following order:  I assume the chain runs like this

CARD --BARRACUDA  --34520

Is the Baracudda terminated?   If yes, don't.  The 34520 should be
terminated.
Are they on the same cable?  Try changing the cable (Most common cause of
SCSI problems*)

BTW, Seagate has one of the best support areas on the web.

Note *: Most people know that the SCSI Bus must be terminated on full moon
nights, in goat's blood.  What they fail to realize is that must be a
seventh son of a seventh son.  That's all it takes to SCSI well.
