Hi! On a A3000, how do you change the SCSI ID of the supplied hardisk?
(typically Prodrive 50 and 200 megs). I haven't found any information in
the supplied docs. Is there a software way to do it (like the program
BattMem for the SCSI ID of the controller)?
Thanks, Daniel.

I can't speak for the 50 or 200, as I only have the Quantum ProDrive 40S. The ID jumpers are in the corner of the bottom. There are two sets of jumpers (three pairs of posts in each set.) One set has a label on each pair, such as EP, something, soemthing. This will have a lone silver jumper. Meanwhile, the other sets of jumpers are unlabeled. There should be two black blocks on two of the pins. This means ID=6. Just do binary posts. 1,2,4 are the post values. Enjoy! -- John M.

On some, at least, it's done in software (setting NVRAM "jumpers" with a special program which talks directly to the SCSI controller associated with the drive); one example: the DataFrame series for the Mac. They work fine on Amy once the SCSI ID is set correctly. -- Eric Black "Garbage in, Gospel out" Atherton Technology, 1333 Bordeaux Dr., Sunnyvale, CA, 94089 Email: ericb@Atherton.COM Voice: +1 408 734 9822
