Re: Internal SCSI on Ultra 2 Creator

Been there, done that.

Remove all SCSI terminators from the drive.

The SCSI ports on the board with the jumper cable are hard wired
for certain SCSI Id's, are meant to work with CD-roms, and no
additional jumpers are necessary.

Also, check at Sunsolve to make sure that the drive you have
is compatible. Most are, but some aren't.

I have NO termination plugs on my CD-rom drive in my U2. And it works
fine. That's all I can say for sure.
