My current configuration is an Apple IIgs with the Rev. C SCSI card, an old IBM PC power supply, and a Seagate ST-2??N 40Meg Hard Drive. My younger brother has obtained an 80Meg Seagate ST-296N for me for $100. (Before anyone says, "Wow, what a great brother," please note that I had to spend most of his formative years pounding him so that he knew what the pecking order was. :-) ) I'd like to use both the 40Meg and 80Meg drives, but I have a few questions I hope the net can answer for me: 1. Can the Rev C card have two HDs hanging off it? 2. For some reason, I have assumed that the Seagate 40M has a SCSI terminator in it. After all, my setup works fine and I sure as heck didn't add anything to it. Will I have to do something to one of the drives to remove a terminator? Or do I have to make a terminator? 3. I have a ribbon cable connecting the Seagate unit to the port at the back of the HD box. Can I just slap another connector on this cable and plug it into the new drive, hooking them up in parallel? If not, anyone know what the appropriate cable looks like and where I can get one? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. -- Jim Dean Bell-Northern Research, Ltd |"Dear God, Please give President, National Capital Baseball League | a bald guy a break."
