Hello,

What settings are requeired for a SCSI hard drive to work with the
internal SCSI interface?

Bus?
Parity?
Termination?

Thanks!

You should keep these rules in mind for the ACSI/DMA bus of the Mega STE:

- The drive must not require initiator identification. Some drives
require the computer to have a SCSI ID of its own, but the Mega STE has
no full-featured SCSI bus (only ACSI/DMA) and does not provide this feature.
- You can only use 1 GByte of the drive's capacity, even if the drive
has a higher capacity.
- Parity should be switched off, the Mega STE does not support parity.
- The drive at the end of the SCSI chain must be terminated. An active
terminator is recommended.
- The cable to the drive should be short.

Best regards

Uwe
