Message-ID:Date: 28 Sep 89 16:54:34 GMT Organization: Electrical and Comp. Engineering, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 35 If am putting together a AT clone and am having a problem. I've got the motherboard installed OK and have the video card and monitor working. Now, I'm trying to put in the disk controller card. The card is a Seagate ST02 SCSI controller. I have the jumpers on the card set as per the manual and have the jumpers on the hard drive (a Seagate st157n) set correctly (Parity enabled, drive 0). Here's the question: I now have to hook up the floppies. I have a 1.2meg 5 1/4" drive and a 1.44meg 3 1/2" drive. Both are brand new Teac drives. The cables I have are the standard drive ribbon cables. One with an XT (edge) terminator and on with a AT (pin-type) terminator. How do I hook up the drives?? The cables each have two edge connectors for hooking to the drive. Which do I use, the one at the end or the one in the middle?? How do I determine which is drive A and which is drive B?? (I want the 5 1/4" to be drive A). What is the correct drive type for the ST157N?? I need to set this in the Setup rom but I not sure of the correct value. Right now, when I boot up, it looks at the controller, returns the Seagate bios message and reports 1 SCSI present. Before it does this it says something like drive 0 not responding, drive 1 not responding. (the motherboard by the way is a 20MHz 286 with 2megs on board at present) Also, do I setup (in the bios rom) the floppies the same way as if I wasn't using the SCSI controller?? HELP!!!!! Thanks in advance, alan as2d@andrew.cmu.edu
