HI I have a new IBM 50 pin SCSI HD   
   Type:DCHS   
   Theres 3 long numbers but they arent labeled would the first set of numbers be   
   the Model# ?   
   That # is:  ECE29674   
      
   It has been about 6 years since I gave configured a SCSI HD but the last one   
   wasnt a pain!   
      
   I know the CMD HD uses ID#0  LUN#0   
      
   I didnt jumper anything except AUTO START jumper so the dang thing would spin   
   up, yay.   
   Using CMD HD UTILITIES disk I loaded  LLFORMAT   
   I plugged in the SCSI DATA cable and power for mechanism.   
   I let the mechanism spin up heard it clacking and chattering for a short   
   while, it stopped.   
   I then pressed swap 8 & 9 pressed reset, then the dang error light flashed and   
   so did the write protect leds.   
      
   Even though the errors occured I oressed return key anyway to see if the   
   mechanism was recognized, no DEV0  LUN0  dagnamit.   
      
   There is a jumper for internal termination I tried that, same error light and   
   write protect error.   
      
   It runs in my mind with some SCSI drives on CMD HD dont you have to disconnect   
   the SCSI data cable or something to get it going?   
      
   I always just never jumpered anything else except getting the mech to spinup   
   and the CMD HD recognized the mech after the swap buttons and the   
   usual reset see if activity light stays off, if so letup on swap buttons,   
   press return then on the top if the LLFORMAT screen should show the   
   DEV0 LUN0 select that and its ready to go.   
      
   Any suggestions if it wouldnt damage it Injust want to throw it out the dang   
   door.  :(   
   I spent all afternoon making faces at this mechanism..  among other bad words.
