Hi Don,
I've just installed eCs 1.1 onto a Seagate Cheetah LVD/SE-80-pin drive 
[SCA] - the adapter I have [Z-profile] has both a 68-pin and a 50-pin 
connector on the cable-side.  The instructions said to set the SCSI-ID 
on the adapter itself.  Worked for me - drive was set as ID-0 - no 
jumpers. That's hooked up to an Adaptec AHA-2940UW [68-pin]. RMT-start 
is the jumper to disable drive spin-up until controller activates it, so 
that there is no massive power drain when up to 14 SCSI drives all 
spin-up simultaneously at boot-time, IIRC.
