I picked up 2 x 36G SCSI drives for $5 each. I figured I'd give them a shot since they were so cheap. They are both 80 pin SCSI. I have two 80-to-50 pin SCSI adapters. I tried both of them in the Color Classic without any luck.
Lido complains with one that Arbitration Failed and to check termination. I don't see anything on these drives as far as termination. No jumpers, nothing. I though at minimum, it would have a default ID of 6 or 7.
The second drive isn't even detected by Lido. I put it in an external enclosure too. I can hear it spin up and there's a green LED on the underside of it that lights up. So it appears to not be dead. Again, nothing as far as jumpers.
Maybe these drives are too "new" for a vintage Mac. If the SCSI ID was set via software, what are the chances of me getting one of them to work in my Color Classic?
Anyone have any tips or tricks? Pointers? Suggestions?
