SCSI terminator

Post by Kevi » Fri, 09 Mar 2001 08:06:27



I'm trying to find a place to buy a 68-pin internal active LVD
SCSI terminator.  My dying Quantum Atlas IV drive is providing
termination now.  My replacement IBM drive does not have this
feature.

Local retailers, including national chains, are not much help on
this.  So far I'm finding lots of terminators on the web, but not
this variety.

What can you recommend?

Thanks....

I've used the cablemakers site, but have not used the others:

        http://www.cablemakers.com/
        http://www.scsi-cables.com/
        http://commerce.atecone.net/ultra/
        http://www.techcable.com/

The adaptec online store (http://www.adaptecstore.com) used to sell terminators
too, but the site looks broken currently when I select cables.

1. sanity check on scsi terminator settings, please

Hi All,

I've got a Compaq DeskPro with a integrated AM73C974 scsi controller.  The
problem is that I keep getting i/o errors with the disks while installing
RH7.2.  I heard once that wrong scsi terminator settings (or drive parity
settings) on the scsi chain can cause inconsistant reads and writes.  Is
that true?

I have on the cable (in order from the controller on out):

controller at id:12
scsi hard disk a at id:4
scsi CDROM at id:2
scsi hard disk b at id:0.

I have the terminator on disk b since it's on the end of the chain and it's
set to get terminator power from the drive.  There's no way I can tell if
the scsi controller itself has to be terminated - I doubt it.

I ran Seagate OnTrack Diagnostics on the two drives and there were no errors
on the surface scan.  My root file system is 1048Meg and this doesn't
include the various mounts on other partitions for /usr/local, /var, /tmp,
etc.  So, I should have LOTS of disk.

Any ideas would be appreciated!
Corey.
