Hello Group.
I have a Compaq Professional workstation SP700 which is currerntly working
well with 2 Compaq SCSI hard Disks. I am in the need of installing a new
quantum Atlas Hard Disk.that I bought recently. I have been playing trial
and error but I am not able to make at least the BIOS recognize the Quantum
Atlas hard Disk.
I am not sure if this newsgroup accepts attachments, so I am going to give
you a my scope of the subject and if needed, I will email you the scanned
tags of the Quantum Atlas hard Disk in Jpeg format as well as an
ilustration of the jumpers and how they are curently set, in a PDF format.
B.T.W, I already went to Quantum website (but without luck) so I am still
in base #1.
These is the Jumper set in the two Compaq Hard Disks:
Compaq (Fujitsu) Compaq (Refurbished disk)
Wide Ultra SCSI 2 Wide Ultra SCSI 2
Boot Disk Slave Disk
10,00 RPM 7200 RPM
9.1 GB 9.1 GB
JUMPERS: JUMPERS
| . | ID0 | . | TP to bus
| . | ID1 | . | Reserved

one used in electronics)

Selected Jumpers: | X. X |

And this is the jumpers currently unselected in the Quantum Atlas Hard Disk.
As I say, My goal is to make this new HD the Master and the other two ones
slaves; say the 10 RPM as Slave 1 and the 7.2RPM as the second slave.
Quantum Atlas 10K II

I really appreciate any help that you may give me in order to make this
three disks work in my Compaq SP 700
Thanks and have a nice week!
