Has anyone ever successfully used Dove's SCSI upgrade for the 512e with any
CMS hard drive (specifically the SD60)? I hooked mine up with the terminator
still connected and the drive wouldn't work (Mac worked fine, though). I called
Dove and they were very helpful -- they told me to clip the terminators. Well,
that didn't work. Then they told me to solder a jumper. I did. It still
didn't work. Then they tell me I wasn't supposed to cut the terminator at
all! So, now it is being exchanged at MacConnection (out of stock, so I now
have to wait 2 *more* weeks). I tested the drive on a Plus and it works fine,
so it must be the SCSI port. When I called CMS originally, they said that
Dove's port doesn't work well with their drives. This was disturbing,
since I never heard about any such problem in any ads or anywhere else.
Has anybody used Dove's SCSI with a CMS drive? Did I just get a bad SCSI
board? Can anyone refer me to another upgrade (that will work with my
Dove 2M memory upgrade) in case the next board doesn't work? Please
respond via e-mail and I will summarize to the net if I get enough
responses. Thanks in advance!

I have a 512E with Dove 2M updgrade + SCSI port and CMS SD60 Drive and they work fine together. I originally got a Warp 9 Photon 40 which did not work.
