HI I have a new IBM 50 pin SCSI HD
Type:DCHS
Theres 3 long numbers but they arent labeled would the first set of numbers be
the Model# ?
That # is:  ECE29674

It has been about 6 years since I gave configured a SCSI HD but the last one
wasnt a pain!

I know the CMD HD uses ID#0  LUN#0

I didnt jumper anything except AUTO START jumper so the dang thing would spin
up, yay.
Using CMD HD UTILITIES disk I loaded  LLFORMAT
I plugged in the SCSI DATA cable and power for mechanism.
I let the mechanism spin up heard it clacking and chattering for a short while,
it stopped.
I then pressed swap 8 & 9 pressed reset, then the dang error light flashed and
so did the write protect leds.

Even though the errors occured I oressed return key anyway to see if the
mechanism was recognized, no DEV0  LUN0  dagnamit.

There is a jumper for internal termination I tried that, same error light and
write protect error.

It runs in my mind with some SCSI drives on CMD HD dont you have to disconnect
the SCSI data cable or something to get it going?

I always just never jumpered anything else except getting the mech to spinup
and the CMD HD recognized the mech after the swap buttons and the
usual reset see if activity light stays off, if so letup on swap buttons, press
return then on the top if the LLFORMAT screen should show the
DEV0 LUN0 select that and its ready to go.

Any suggestions if it wouldnt damage it Injust want to throw it out the dang
door.  :(
I spent all afternoon making faces at this mechanism..  among other bad words.
