Don, sounds like quite the project, good luck with it.
I finally talked to Seagate, and all my questions about configuring the
device number, location of terminator packs, where pin 1 is for the 50 pin
IDC connector on the drive, and everything is set up properly. I have also
talked to CATS, and the ST157N should just drop in with no problems. They
wondered if it was cabled right. I don't think that the cable is the problem
tho because I've tried several cables and I am sure of the pin assignments.
Also, when BindDrivers is run, you can hear the drive reset ( it does
something anyway ) but I haven't noticed the light come on. So, the only
conclusion I can come to is that either the drive, or the SCSI side of the
2090 is bad. I currently have a drive running on the ST506 side. Hopefully I
can find someone locally with a 2090 I can try the drive on. This sure has
been frustrating, I thought that ST157N would just drop in and be up and
running in an hour or so.
