Hello,
I hope, this is the right group concerning questions about PC-hardware
problems.
I am using a 486/50 PC-clone with a Seagate ST3390A AT-bus harddrive (340MB).
My controller is labeled GW2760 [PX] (, whatever that means).
Last week I got me a second harddrive, because I am going out of space
with my Seagate. It's a Conner CFS420A, that's another 420MB (fine).
But I have problems to get the 2 drives work together!
What I did:
* I configured the Conner as the slave.
* I rebooted my computer.
What happened:
* Well, it said "disk error, drive D:" (or similar)
After that, I tried the Conner as master, and got the same result.
Unfortionately, I have no docs on my Seagate, so I don't know, if I
have to configure it in some way to get the two disks work together
properly.
ARE THERE ANY JUMPERS TO SET ON A SEAGATE ST3390A TO USE IT TOGETHER
WITH ANOTHER DRIVE? OR, MAY THIS BE A PROBLEM OF THE CONTROLLER?
OR, WHAT ELSE DID I WRONG?
PLEASE, help!
