Hello there,

I'm looking for some SCSI related devices for a project I'm working on:

      1. Program controllable SCSI switches, which would allow one SCSI disk
         to be shared (exclusively) by 2 (or more) independent hosts.
      2. SCSI bus extenders (signal repeaters), which would allow a SCSI bus
         to be extended upto 200 meters long.

It will be greatly appreciated if you can provide me with information such as:
vendor's name and phone number, cost, and your experience with these devices.

I usually don't read this news group, please response via e-mail.

Thanks for your help.

Hello there folks,

Can anybody out there help me track down the details on a

SEAGATE ST157N drive (~48 meg, I think).

All information is a help. I am looking to find information on the drive and

a) the location of the terminating resistors,
b) SCSI device selection,
c) and the pinout of the connector.

I don't know much about this thing (as you can tell),
so any information is a great help.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
  I just got a ST41600N SCSI HD.  It is a 1.3G HD.  I have never
had a big SCSI HD so this might be a common problem that i am
unused to but i hope somone can help me clarify this problem?
Every now and then, maybe every hour(i'm guessing) the drive 
would burp/make some funny noise/sound like it is transfering
data.  Is this a common noise or is there something wrong 
with my drive?  Is it suppose to do this even if it is new?
This noise happens even at any time, of course not all teh time but
what i mean to say, is it can happen at any time, whether i am
accesing data, not accesing data, computer is being used although
HD isn't or when the computer is not being used at all but kept on.
Hopefully someone can tell me what my drive is doing.  It sounds
funny to me, although i've heard it on the drives in school.  But i
can understand if they are school drives because maybe they
are being accessed but this is my own personal drive.  Why is it
doing this?  Any help would be helpful.  Thanx.

-Alex.

Hi,

  I've loaded Windows 3.1 and it tells me that the SCSI drive I have
doesn't support VDS and so I must use the double buffering option
on SMARTDRV.

  My question (based on total ignorance) is: How do I get VDS for
my SCSI drive?  I've got an old AT&T 3863/E33 WGS and when I boot,
the following message is displayed:

-
FASST ROM Resident BIOS Version 3.34 WD-7000
Copyright (c) 1987-1989 Columbia Data Products, Inc.
-

  From some documentation that came with my copy of Qualitas 386MAX,
it says the Western Digital ROM 3.36 and above supports VDS.  If
so, how do I get this ROM.  Does anybody have a phone number for
either Western Digital or Columbia Data Products that I can call?


Thanks for any help you can give me!

You "may" have highly-fragmented filesystems; this is what is plaguing my
3B1 systems and why they max-out at about 60Kbytes/S with iozone.

One analysis tool that can be used to identify that problem is fsanal which
appeared in comp.sources.misc during December 1988 as "v05i068: Fsanalyze
Version 4.1"; fsanal was written by Michael J Young <mjy@sdti.sdti.com>.

If you snarf it, be SURE to get patch#1 posted to comp.sources.bugs on
15-Dec-1988, and an "unofficial" patch by Rob McMahon posted to
comp.sources.bugs on 22-Dec-1988 which handles a problem with NFS mounts.

If fragmentation seems the source of your problem, the only relatively safe
way I know to "fix" the problem is to dump everything to tape, "clear" the
disk(s), and reload from tape.  This IS a problem with UFS filesystems, sigh.

BSD-based FFS derivatives don't seem to have any such problem, but one pays
for the performance improvement by increased filesystem overhead in terms of
up to 10% of the disk space "generally" never available.  Thus, what could
be a 1GB disk (after formatting) ends up having only 900MB useable with the
usual defaults [which can be altered to suit one's needs; one can tune for
space or for speed].  Given the price of disks today, it's not worth worrying
about.

Once again, I have the same problem I did before - someone please help!
(I called adaptec 2 weeks ago, still no response, not even a call!)
I am postponing a substantial purchase of scsi secondary store because
there seems to be a conflict between a AHA1542B and an Sound Blaster Pro,
particularly in data-intensive writes to the digital audio output port.
Changing interrupts, slot locations, port addresses, and DMA channels
(they both use DMA) did not help.  I have a 386DX-33 (intel), and a 'virgin'
system setup (no TSRs, minimal drivers), tried MS-DOS 5.0 and NDOS, nothing
seems to change it.  Is there something else that could be conflicting?
How can they interfere like that?  Which card is to blame?
I only have a tape drive on the SCSI bus, and it seems to work find
(with the exception of an aspiwrite -14 error or something when appending
to a tar archive) and teh SBPro works flawlessly when the AHA1542B is 
removed.  I would try each device under coherent, but I don't have drivers
for them yet... sorry, I hate asking for DOS help... but someone PLEASE

Adaptec has drive specific drivers available now with ASW-410 kit.
I use the same set-up as above, but use the ASWCDTSH.SYS (Ver 2.0)

	This may seem like really dumb advice, but I've been burn't on
this one myself.  When some-one says unplug the machine, that means
everything connected to the "real" world.  This really boils down to
remembering to unplug the phone cords.  It doesn't take much to loose
a modem, serial port, pieces of your motherboard, and whatever else
feels like blowing up!

	Living out here in one of the flat parts of Ohio it's amazing
how much stuff gets zapped.  Nothing in the world but dead air

	One more thing.  Don't forget that the terminal in the other

Just a guess here, but one thing you might do is set the bus on time to
7 with ASPI manager and see what happens.  Another thing I do know about
has to do with multiple DMA channels running at the same time.
Apparently, there are systems that can't do this well.  SCO, for one,
put in a special control flag to keep multiple DMA's from running unless the
user makes a conscious effort to enable it.
As I understand it, FASTBACK fails high DMA tests from this problem as
well and resorts to using non-overlapped DMA when this is detected.

A few weeks ago, I praised Adaptec's sudden change in policy by putting
upgrades on their bbs.  However, they appear only to respond to messages
left on the bbs about once a week.  Not very timely, in my opinion.

After upgrading my aspi4dos drivers, I decided to add a WD1006v-mm2 and
a ST4096 that I had lying around the house.  My 1542b has a Priam 738,
NEC cdr-84, and a Archive 150s.  (Note all were working prior to adding
the WD controller, so I don't suspect the normal scsi problems like
improper termination)

CMOS is set at C: Type 35, D: Not installed

The 1542B is set in the default, with the exception of the floppy
controller is disabled.  The WD is also installed with default jumpers.

I have a single 80mb Esix partition on the MFM drive.  The first
partition on the SCSI drive is a 140Mb Dos 5.0 partition.  The remainder
is an Esix partition.

Esix works like a champ.  This makes me believe I don't have a problem
with any hardware setting for IRQ, DMA, etc.  BTW, the system with both
cards installed does pass Adaptec's DMA test.

The problems I'm experiencing are with Dos 5.0 and aspi4dos 3.0. 
 
First off,I boot dos from a floppy.  If I boot with any drivers in
config.sys, using adaptec's bios, dos works just fine.  If I load
aspi4dos, with nothing else except a files and buffers setting, dos
boots, but....  the first dos dir command causes the system to hang with
the amount of free space is suppose to be shown.  If I try to add
aswcdnec and mscdex 2.21, the system locks when mscdex loads.

I'm beginning to suspect aspi4dos v3.0, however I'm not experienced
enough to pinpoint the problem.  Has anyone had any experience with
Corel's drivers for the 1542?  Has anyone been sucessfull in adding a WD
controller with the 1542b?
 
Any assistance in resolving this problem is very much appreciated.

The Sun shoeboxes with the Adaptec ACB4000 adapter are NOT SCSI-I.
They are a very old and incomplete implementation of SCSI that
predate the spec.  They don't work well with embedded SCSI drives.
You might have better luck with the Emulex MD-21 that came with
some shoeboxes.

You may also run into some problems with termination, but those are
easily solved if you know what you're doing.

	Recently there was some talk about terminators.
I wasn't really following the thread and now i need some help
on it.  I was wondering if anyone kept or archived the posts?
If anyone has them archived or know where i could find it, please
mail me a clue to the e-mail address below.  Thanx.
