bloody scsi problems big time

[Tobes]

damn it guys,


ive just formatted my pc and everything to try and sort this scsi problem, the sampler is set to scsi id 6 and it is terminated, the zip drive is set to scsi id 5 and is not terminated, i assume the internal pc card is by defualt set to id 7 , so what is going on http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley19.gifif its the cable that will be a pisser now having formated the c drive.


anyone got any ideas, ive checked the aspi driver that is instaled http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley5.gifwell pissed off as i want to get on with the comp, going to have to start without my sampler http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley6.gifpain in the ass....................................

I always try and steer clear of SCSI, cos its a right bitch if it goes wrong! http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley36.gif


Erm.....dunno mate, have ya tried a new cable? Cos if ya justre-installed windowsi would have thought it would reset the internal cards ID's????Edited by: Kenny Dee

[Tobes]

exactly mate, new cable is next on the cards http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley19.gif£30 fooking quid, i hope it works, you at work kenny my man?

[Kenny Dee]

Yeah bruv......fooking madness, i dunno why i even bothered getting out of bed!


The phone aint rung once the whole time i been here.....and i dont finish until 7 o fooking clock http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley7.gif

[Tobes]

bought a new cable and still no fooking joy, do you change the scsi id numbers on the card with jumpers kenny?

[Kenny Dee]

yeah...the jumper settings should be either written on the drive somewhere or in the manual that they come with :smiley2:


Are you running an array or a chain?

[Tobes]

mate im gonna pull nthe f**ker out now, but this is pissing me off,,,, uuuurrrggghh

[Kenny Dee]

SCSI is a bitch mate, its all sweet until something goes wrong....then you're f**ked! http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/smiley36.gif

If you give more details about your chain and gear I may be
able to help Is the zip internal or external? Where is it in the
chain? Can you boot with it disconnencted?.....I ditched my E-
Synth a year ago now but boy do I remember the scsi hassles
both on PC and Mac......I've gone soft now with a couple of
outboard synths . Don't assume anything....check and recheck
your ids....change them and check again. Try different boot
orders.

hia mate,


thanks for the offer but i sorted it, in the end i figured out the scsi card was bust, since i installed the new one ive lost loads of little bugs i had before, well chuffed.


cheers mate http://www.itstooloud.com/smileys/thumb.gif
