Title: Faulty EIII - Seagate HDD Pins
Post by: xmota on April 17, 2018, 11:46:19 AM
Hi,

I?ve bought a faulty EIII (8Mb in beautful cosmetic condition).

After a little research my friend, who helps me to fix it, found that the original HDD is dead (with the HDD installed the fans did not start and the PSU "clicked" and turned off). Now I found Seagate ST51080N installed in my Kurzweil K2000R. I have copied the bootable disk image to the Seagate drive. EIII turns on, fans are working, the LED on the HDD lights, but it seems that the drive does not spin and the EIII LCD shows "cube" symbols only.

Does anybody have the correct setting of the pins on the Seagate drive? Any other tips, excperience with similar behaviour?

Thanks

Tomas

Set the ID to 1 and if it is the only internal drive set the termination on.
If you don't know which jumper is what google for the drive name + jumper.

I?ve got the manual of the Seagate.

So is this setting correct:

- SCSI ID 1 (Yes)
- Remote Start (??? no idea)
- Parity Enable (Yes) - Am I correct here?
- Terminator Disable (No)
- Power from drive power connector (Yes)
- Power form SCSI Bus (No)
- Power from drive power connector and to SCSI bus (No)
- Power to SCSI bus only (No)

OK now EIII shows "Emulator 3 version 2.0" and cycle SCSI IDs 1-7.

Another attempt, to terminate the external SCSI connector with CD-ROM drive, still no success.

EIII booted from floppy, after a 5 minutes of formating of the HDD "Disc Media Error"
