This has the 50 pin wide flat cable. A cd > drive is also chained on the bus. If you are using a 50 pin cable, I would bet that you are using a narrow drive. The wide scsi cable on my box is about 1/3 the width of the narrow scsi cable, but has smaller wires (it's really cool, you can see through it). If I remember correctly, wide SCSI uses 68 pins. > When I start the BSD installation from CD, it sees no drives. At a wild guess, I would say you are using a 7895 controller? If so, you need the CAM SCSI interface. Poke about on the archives to instructions how do make CAM work (this really should wind its way into a FAQ!) +C -- Thinking of purchasing RAM from the Chip Merchant?
