[comp.sys.apple] SCSI problem.

jla@hogbbs.Fidonet.Org (Slartibartfast) (06/03/89)

I bought a used SCSI card from a friend that has 2 Chinook HDs, assuming
that it was either a Apple SCSI card, or a CMS SCSI card.  Well my
asumption was wrong!  I also just bought a Seagate st-277n drive and tried
formatting it with both style cables but neither worked.  Does anyone out
there know what company make the cards for Chinook (or does Chinook make
it?)  If so what is the tachnical support phone number for that company.
Better yet does anyone out there know the pinouts for the card and have
formatting software for it?  Please respond A.S.A.P.  I am getting very
impaticent (spelling) with this thing and want it working.
                                Thanx in advance,
                                        Jim Anderson

I believe that early Chinook drives were shipped with non-Apple SCSI
cards.  Since about November of 1988, they have been shipping with
Apple SCSI cards.  Chinook's technical support number is (800)
727-5544.
