What I'm trying to do is to connect an NEC CD-ROM (model CDR-77) to a PS2 Model
80 via the IBM SCSI adapter that came with the computer. First I had cabling
problems, but solved those with a cable from IBM ($100!!!!). Now I can't get th
e computer to recognize the CD-ROM DRIVE, as the reference disk's setup program
just does weird things that don't work, because I still can't boot up. I am fa
irly computer literate, but don't have much experience with the PS2 microchanne
l architecture and SCSI.
I guess I should mention that the reason I am trying to do this is that the CD-
ROM was originally bought with a scsi card for the AT Bus. But, As far as I
know, a SCSI is a SCSI, so it should work okay with the IBM SCSI card. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
