Thomas, don't beleive this unit is an scsi device.
the older Qic-02 drives had an 50pin connector just
like scsi although they were wired quite differant
(of course), some of these guys were able to be given
device numbers in the Qic-02 chain, possibly the 3
rows of selectors you found.
Then again I could be all wet., But sure sounds as if
you have the scsi bus pilled to ground, as an aside did
you attempt to invert the scsi cable ? Could have been
just placed with the logics pins to ground.
HTH, JimL
