Emax

Hello, all..

I just purchased a Syquest EZ135 SCSI drive for my Emax II Rack. I currently 
have an internal hard drive installed and assigned to SCSI #5. The Syquest is 
set to #4. When I boot up, the system hangs up on #5 (the internal HD), and I 
have to boot from floppy. The unit will not recognize the Syquest (it reports 
NOT EMAX2 DRIVE), and also not recognize the internal HD. There was an active 
terminator supplied with the drive, and it's connected to the Syquest. 
Does anybody have any idea what I can to do remedy the problem?
No matter what SCSI ID I assign to  the Syquest, I get the same result. I 
know that the Syquest is compatiblebecause I''ve heard so many people mention 
that the use them. 

I look forward to your help...

My guess is that it's the internal drive causing the issue. Perhaps it has it's termination 
turned on as well. My Set-up is just like what you are attempting, I have an internal HD 
set to ID #1 and a Syquest EZ-135 set to ID #2 with the terminator connected. I have no 
issues. If the internal drive is working prior to the EZ-135 then my guess is it is 
terminating and needs to have that turned off.

As far the the Emax II reporting that the Syquest drive is "Not EMAX2 DRIVE" that is 
correct. Until you let the Emax format a cartridge in the drive technically it's not an Emax 
II drive, but at least by the Emax reporting that you know it is seeing and trying to read 
the drive.

Thanks for the info. Now the next question: How would I turn off the 
termination in my HD? I have a Conner CP-30540. If anyone could let me know, 
I would be most appreciative!

Frank, The info you need is located here at the Seagate hard drive 
website. 
http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/conner/cp30540.html
It looks like E5 is the one that you want to remove. Some times some 
SCSI drives will not work with others or you may have to change the 
order in which they are wired or the SCSI ID. Keep trying.
Good luck,
Skip
