I have just bought a Future Domain SCSI Host Adapter and a Maxtor
8760S SCSI Hard Disk (780MB-unformatted). I've got the documentation
for the Adapter but there was none with the disk (which I got cheap -
brand new, unopened etc).
This is the first time I've dabbled with SCSI. When the system powers
up the Adapter says:
No SCSI driver present, check cables and power
Well I've done all that & it still doesnt see the hard disk. There are no
addressing/interrupt conflicts because I've stripped out all the other
boards. I suspect that the drive needs terminating (although the resistor
packs are there...not connected?). None of the posts to the left of the
bus connector have jumpers on them although this might suggest a SCSI
address of 0.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.....
Regards....

P.S. This machine is a 386SX. It will eventually be running Xenix
when the drive works OK. (At home)
