I'm trying to get 3 IBM 9.1GB LVD SCSI drives to work with a new install using an Adaptec AIC-7896 (imbedded on an Intel L440GX+ motherboard). The ONLY way I got all 3 drives working was the following: SCSI ID 0 -> P7 (furthest from the controller) connector " " 1 -> P6 (next connector in) " " 2 (terminator jumper in) -> P5 (and so on...) with P1 going to the controller (motherboard in this case) The only problem with that is that I need to move the last drive (SCSI ID 2) to a drive bay that the P5 connector can't reach. I've tried every other connector on the SCSI ribbon cable with no luck; I either get panics as soon as the install tries to start, or everything hangs before I even get that far. Is this normal behavior? Is there a fix? Perhaps a jumper setting on the drives (the "disable parity" jumper is off by default, for example)? Thanks in advance, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
