SCSI problems

If his Seagtes are ST410800N like mine they are SCSI 2 fast and I have had them on a non-fast controller but I did get sector errors until I did a low level format. They still didn't work right until I put them on the 2740 which does the fast comm scheme. -> -----Original Message----- -> From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of Ethan Dicks -> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 10:16 AM -> To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> Subject: Re: SCSI problems -> -> -> -> --- Richard Erlacher &lt;edick(a)idcomm.com&gt; wrote: -> > If it's in a PnP motherboard, it's really important that the interrupt -> > assignments don't clash.
