I am having trouble getting a SCSI drive to work as a replacement for my hard drive in my 3000. Can anyone tell me if C= made it imposssible to get anything but a Quantum to work with a 3000? John

Well John, I think we need a little more information from you before someone can determine if your SCSI drive can be made to work. The 3000 can be made to work with various types of SCSI drives, like CD-ROM, SyQuest, etc. So what kind of drive is it? What kind of problems are you experiencing? Have you used the HDInstall program to partition and low-level format your drive? John – K7KB (via Whap!)

Nope…just about any SCSI drive will work with an A3000. What problems are you having, how do you have the drive setup (SCSI ID), is it terminated, are you plugged into the host adapter internally or via the external port, are you sure the drive itself is working?

Yes, please leave more information. I could not get a Rodime 210 to work, either. But it's possible that myself or someone here could help you with info like drive name, size, model #, the unit ID you have selected, which terminators you have on/off, whether or not you're using reselect, etc.
