Hello ClassicCmp and Port-vax,
I am trying to track down the compatibility of the VS3100/MS SCSI bus with
"modern" SCSI drives. The case in point is that I'm trying to connect a
SeaGate Barracuda (ST32550N) drive (2.54GB SCSI) to the internal bus,
replacing a 426MB Seagate drive. When the drive is installed the system
gets indigestion. I'm currently attempting to disable parity on the drive
in case that is an issue.
Has anyone done something similar? Is there some caveat I've missed?
Obviously the DEC manual isn't much help :-)
