X-To: <classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu>
I have a ZEOS 486 board with a SCSI controller. I
don't do SCSI much, so I
have some questions...
A customer connected my SCSI drive backwards to the (motherboard)
controller.
He reported being unable to get the BIOS to recognize the drive.
1) Is the SCSI drive (a 170 MB Toshiba) toast? Can it be fixed?
2) Is the motherboard SCSI controller toast?
3) There's no separate SCSI setting under "drive type". Should I use
"no
drive", or set the parameters to something?
Thanks

Hi Manney,
The scsi controller always have fuse on it. check it for opens if
so find a 1 amp fast acting replacement and solder it in.
And that dweeb, please tell owner NOT to play with it. :-)
