Samsung S5200

Hallo allemaal,


I was given a Samsung S5200 but without manuals. Two questions:
- what are dipswitches at the back of the machine for?
- I want to replace its original 32 MB SCSI harddisk with another one.
How can I start its onboard SCSI diagnostics?

TIA !!!

Activating the controller diagnostics depends somewhat on the brand of SCSI
interface in the machine.

Adaptec, for example, usually displays a prompt to 'Press CTL A' to access
the SCSI subsystem.

In the event that the prompt is disabled (which can be performed once access
to the card is obtained), you might try pressing the key combination of
CTL + A (Ctrl + A) while the system is booting or attempting to boot.

Hallo Ron,

No, it is an onboard interface. I put an extra Adaptec interface in it
to access other disks and that worked out fine. But that means I need
an extra external box, which makes no sense in combination with a
laptop.

I think I'm going to play with those dipswitches.
