In my experience, and from what I have been told, resistor packs are not THAT
important. At the risk of sounding pretentious, I've never bothered with them,
and I've never had a problem of that nature. Perhaps you should look to some
other cause. I find It hard to believe that the length of SCSI cable is
relevant in this case also. I have 3 drives running on my system, one on the
2091 card, and one drive in front of the power supply and one in the 3.5 inch
bay. admitedly I have no external SCSI drives, but I do have 3 on an internal
chain. I would suggest checking the SCSI ID of the drives and make sure that
you don't have more than one drive set to SCSI address 0 or something. this
would cause a conflict. Possibly also check whether the drives are set to
bootable or not etc.
( Do they appear at all in HD toolbox ?)
Apologies for the formatting of this message, I don't use AP yet.
Please mail me (76711,712) if I seem to be on the right track, and I will try
to help further.
