Can anyone tell me please if a SCSI II harddrive is able to run with a standard old SCSI controller? If not then my next question would be can I do a simple chip upgrade on a SCSI controller to make it SCSI II or do I have to buy a whole new controller? TIA

You should be able to use a SCSI-II drive on an old SCSI controller. You should check to see if it has a jumper that lets you select it as a SCSI-I or SCSI-II hard drive. If so, then jumper it as SCSI-I and you should be fine. You can always contact tech support of the HD manufacturer as well to verify if it does work or not. // Christian – AutoPilot 1.80 \X/ warrior@mail.fishnet.net

Christian, Thanks for the reply on the SCSI II drive query. Its appears to be unonymouse sp?

Does the raw drive have any labeling on it to indicate manufacturer? // Christian – AutoPilot 1.80 \X/ warrior@mail.fishnet.net
