scsi card problems

Author	Topic
Unknown_K Full Member USA 602 Posts	Posted - 02 Nov 2003 : 22:01:19 I have a silicon express IV nubus card in my 840av and it tends to crash when saving data to it after a minute or so. I know the drive connected to it is fine and has been tested on other machines. Is there a util I can format the drive with? Since its on the internal 68pin connector the normal utils cant get to it. I have the latest firmware on the card from attotech.com.

I find that some of this stuff is still loaded on secondhand computers. For instance: SCSI Director, or SCSI Director Pro. FWB Hard Disk Toolkit. PLI Formatter Drive 7 Charismac's Anubis MicroNet SCSI utility FormatterOne. PS Have you tried a different SCSI cable and made sure that the termination is correct? Put the device on the end of the chain and set its jumper for termination to on. If that doesn't work, put it back one in the chain and add an internal terminator to the end of the chain. ~~ Master 68k liberator. Too many to list. Retained collection includes SE, Classic, ClassicII, IIsi (w/NetBSD) IIvx, LC, LCIII, LC475, Quadra840AV,950(w/PPC card) PB145,520,190 & many contraband Powermacs. Last one liberated:LC580.

I just got a nubus jackhammer card in today from EBAY for $8.99 including shipping an its working great on my IIfx. Now all I need is a network card for that beast ( the farallon in it was DOA when I recieved the IIfx)
