Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use an Ultra SCSI drive with or without a Card ?

transintl.com upgrade F.A.Q.
Only Ultra SCSI (8 bit) drives can be connected internally or externally. Ultra SCSI 16-bit drives have to be connected via a PCI Card. Ultra SCSI (16 bit) can be used with a card but a performance gap of 40 MB/s exists since Ultra SCSI (16 bit) offers only 40 MB/s (max). Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) is highly recommended if planning to gain maximum performance with a PCI card.

Do you have to use the SCSI card that came with the drive?

JVC Professional Customer Support - CDRW FAQ
No. Most cards that are 100% ASPI compliant will work with our drives. However, we recommend using Adaptec SCSI host adapters as this is the brand of adapter that we ship with all our systems, and they are known to be fully compatible with our drives.

Why is Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) Card so important in Macs and PCs?

transintl.com upgrade F.A.Q.
You cannot have a differential feature, that is 12 meter cable length in PCI based Macintosh or PC’s without a PCI Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD), Low Voltage Differential Card, since Macintosh logic boards and PC mother boards do not support the Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) feature. Earlier, support for differential drives were available only on high end workstations. Now Ultra 2 SCSI (LVD) Cards are available for Macs and PCs.

How can I tell which Apple SCSI card I have?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
The Apple High Speed SCSI card has a set of Dip Switches on it; the Rev C doesn't, and the ROM chip date is older than 1989, if it shows at all. The Apple SCSI cards older than REV C don't work in my IIe or IIgs...... The Apple High Speed SCSI card has a printed label on one of the chips showing the name "Sandwich II" on it.

What are correct HS SCSI settings, etc. for a Bernoulli drive?

Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25 - Apple
One possibility is DMA compatibility. If your memory card is not DMA compatible, then switch 1 on the Apple HS SCSI card should be open (up). Another possibility I guess is a SCSI ID conflict. The Apple HS SCSI card's ID at the factory is set to 7. Here are the Apple HS SCSI card switch combinations: Third, the scsi chain needs termination power to work properly. This is different from termination. Both are required for a properly functioning scsi chain.

How does Zip Drive perform with an Apple HS SCSI card?

Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25
I had many problems when I first started with the Iomega Zip on my GS and it isn't the most reliable thing - But it works. Attach a terminator adapter to the back of the remaining port on your external HD - The Zipdrive has a weak termination and requires another terminator source. Last, if you are working on the GS for a long time and suddenly the Zipdrive Icons don't pop up when you load Finder, simply eject the zipdisk and push it back into the drive.

Is a CMS SCSI interface card adequate for connecting a Zip drive?

Exforsys - Apple II Csa2 FAQs: 1Main-Start, Part 1/25
I have had a Zip Drive hooked to a CMS SCSI card (1990 ROM) for 2-3 years in my IIgs without a hitch. Basically you just go into the setup for the CMS card. It will partition the drive into 32 meg sections which you can access two at a time-- It makes three on a Zip disk. Then once GS/OS is booted it tells you that the disk is unreadable and asks if you want it formatted and you hit ok for each virtual drive and there you have it.

Can SpinRite low-level format my IDE, EIDE, or SCSI drive?

GRC | SpinRite 6.0 FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
No software of any sort can truly low-level format today's modern drives. The ability to low-level format hard drives was lost back in the early 1990's when disc surfaces began incorporating factory written "embedded servo data". If you have a very old drive that can truly be low-level reformatted, SpinRite v5.0 will do that for you (which all v6.0 owners are welcome to download and run anytime).

Yes, if the source disk is bootable on multiple machines, then it's DPSR drive is bootable on the same machines. Windows usually locks it's installation to the system it was originally installed on, so moving an installation to a different machine usually results in Windows not booting correctly. We believe this to be an excellent way to quickly and easily carry your "work" back and forth from the office to the home.

Can I use the Paranoia unit between a fibre channel to SCSI bridge and a tape drive?

Tape Encryption Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Paranoia and Paranoia2 units work well behind the standard bridges and are already installed behind HP and Crossroads bridges. All units are capable of both DES, Extended DES and DES3 modes. As these units also interlace data with twin encryption engines this offers far greater security than devices using only these in single mode.

Should I use scsi emulation or the eide driver for my ATAPI cdrom drive?

Frequently Asked Questions about cdda2wav
Scsi emulation is preferred, since it enables cdda2wav to use more commands and is often the only way to get special information like track titles with cd-text. The emulation module is called ide-scsi, the eide module is called ide-cd.

Will an Ultra or Wide SCSI card make my CD-R record faster?

JVC Professional Customer Support - CDRW FAQ
No. Unless you have other SCSI devices that are enhanced by these features, you will not need these cards. All three drives designations represent the same model. Some of the 2022s are OEM drives. After the firmware update, the drive will show up as a 2626. Assuming Z: is the CD-ROM/CD-R drive that the Easy CD Creator installation disk is loaded, MANUAL.PS is the file you wish to print, and your printer is connected to LPT1: Windows 98 tries to read the contents of a blank CD when entered.

Frequently Asked Questions on SCSI
Ultra SCSI, defined in the SPI-2 document of SCSI-3 offers a maximum data throughput of 20 Mbytes/sec for Narrow (8-bit) SCSI. Ultra Wide SCSI is the 16-bit version that offers 40 Mbytes/sec data transfers. Ultra Wide single-ended SCSI has a maximum cable length of 1.5 m (5 ft) with more than 4 active IDs and 3 m (10 ft) with 4 or fewer active IDs. Ultra Wide differential SCSI has a maximum cable length of 25 m (82 ft).

QUESTION: Why doesn't my Ultra WIDE drive perform at 40 MB/sec like the SCSI spec. says?

scsifaq
No, marketing people are a bunch of liars (or idiots, take your pick)!". Don't blindly accept what you drives will benchmark at that speed. People need to understand the difference between "bus bandwidth" The fastest disk drives (either SCSI or IDE) made in 1998 can only transfer 20 MB/sec. even after they number increases. Current drives can spin at 10,000 RPM. The next generation will spin at 14,400 RPM.

How do I move files from my old Mac, or my old Mac external SCSI drive, to my new Mac?

Herb's Mac Stuff FAQ
If you have your files on an old Mac with a SCSI drive internal or external; and your new Mac does not have a SCSI external connector or use SCSI drives internally, what can you do? I'll discuss many options. My GENERAL advice is as follows. EITHER use some kind of Mac which HAS SCSI to read your drive, and use it to transfer files either by connection or by transfer to another media (floppy, CD, ZIP disk). OR, you add some kind of SCSI hardware to your new Mac to read the drive.

Can DriveCopy be used to copy from an EIDE drive to a SCSI drive?

DriveCopy 4.0 FAQ
Yes. To accomplish this, you must set up the EIDE drive as the first drive on the system, and the SCSI as the second. If you intend to replace the EIDE drive with the SCSI drive, you must remove the EIDE drive from the system after you have performed the copy operation. DriveCopy does not require that the target hard drive be set as the master and the source hard drive be set as slave.

What are SCSI-1, SCSI-2, Ultra-SCSI, etc.? What do I really need?

The DV, DVCAM, & DVCPRO Formats -- tech details, FAQ, an...
SCSI-1 is the "original" SCSI. It's an 8-bit bus with a maximum 5 MB/sec transfer rate. As DV requires 3.6 MB/sec sustained, SCSI-1 is generally too close to the edge for reliable DV transfers. Remember, that 5 MB/sec rate assumes no hiccups, and your computer has more to do than just wait around to dump DV data to/from the SCSI bus. SCSI-2, also known as "fast SCSI" or "fast narrow SCSI", doubles the data rate to 10 MB/sec.
