The following hints are only for the connectors at the onboard ultra-wide SCSI
controller.
Connectors and cables
The connector of the ultra-wide SCSI controller is 68pin.
The connector of 8-bit SCSI devices is 50pin; the connector of 16-bit SCSI devices is
68pin.
If you want to connect 8-bit SCSI devices to the ultra-wide SCSI controller you need an
adapter (from 68pin to 50pin).
If you want to operate an 8-bit SCSI device as the last device on a SCSI line you need an
adapter (from 68pin to 50pin) with high-byte termination.
i
Only use good quality SCSI lines, otherwise you may have transmission
problems.
SCSI Setup
The BIOS of the ultra-wide SCSI controller includes a menu-driven
SCSI Setup
. This
program allows you to change almost all of the option settings of the SCSI controller and
the connected SCSI devices.
When you boot the system a SCSI-BIOS message listing the SCSI devices connected is
displayed.
