Here I am again!
I have not been able to solve my problem , but when removening the seagate
drive the HP DAT is recognized by the bios scan. Atfer re-reviewing the
manuals I think I have the problem. I am using a 68 pin ribbon connector
to the seagate and I am also using the 50 pin ribbon to the HP DAT. I
believe that this is not correct? Do I need to get a 68 -> 50 pin adaptor
to have all the devices on the same bus?
I wish to thank all of you who replied to my earlier postings. You have
been very helpfull. I feel like a real ROOKIE!! So be kind to me (a poor
little brain)!
Using any two out of the three connectors on a BT-958 is permitted; it's a
single bus. From your description, both the Seagate and DAT drives should have
termination enabled. Failure to terminate either end of the bus could cause
behavior such as you describe.
