I apologize for starting another SCSI HD problem question. I bought a 9gb 50pin SCSI for $30 on eBay [IBM 00K3970 9GB SCSI]. The seller warrantied it against being DOA. It 'spins' with what sounds like a laser, preceded by a pathetic grunt of gears that peter out. Notwithstanding that, in Drive Setup, the drive is listed - correctly with ID0 - as "<no disk>".
I know I haven't exhausted the utmost effort. I also didn't bother trying patched tools; I just used the stock Drive Setup on the International OS 9 (I think 9.0.4) install disc. I tried it in an enclosure with a Kanga and internally in my 7100.
My interpretation of these symptoms is that it's nothing short of a miracle anything showed up in Drive Setup at all, and that the "<no disk>" - being similar to an "<unsupported drive>" error off a Quantum 40S - is effectively indicative of serious cylinder problems or sector failures or something. Any thoughts? I have about 3 days to try something else, but I don't see why this would be a Drive Setup failure.
*Oh; he also claims he tested it. But I do not know what that means. For all I know he got the same thing [error] I did and assumed it worked because something showed up. Or maybe I'm wrong and I've jumpered it incorrectly.
**I jumpered termination but I do not know if the drive actually has terminators - though I didn't think improper termination is likely to result in. I think I also tried (and in combinations) disable parity and some type of wide negotiation.
(Also I don't think there's a Term Power jumper setting, but at least in the 7100 the CD drive should have been supplying termination power)
