Storage? I am Storage!
For various reasons (including that I have too much crap in my case) I'm using a 50-pin to 68-pin adapter to connect my DVD-ROM to a run-of-the-mill rounded Ultra160 cable. The problem is that, no matter how I terminate the SE bus, my Adaptec 29160 complains that it's not terminated correctly.
I thought that the correct termination would be to use the detachable LVD/SE terminator on the cable and turn off the termination by the drive. However, this does not, of course, work.
Right now, I have the drive terminating the bus and a message from the controller that the bus is not sufficiently terminated. Except for being unable to turn on bootability, the drive works. However, I'd like to be able to attach 68-pin drives to this bus in the future for diagnostic purposes; the current termination scheme isn't going to work so well.
What should the termination scheme be?
