G'day to the world,
I am after the correct dip switch settings for a Fujitsu 80 Meg harddrive,
to work as a slave under a master 42 Meg Seagate harddrive.
Fujitsu - Model#: m2616et. Serial#: 12817
Sea Gate- Model#: ST351A/X
Settings for the Seagate are: 977 cylinders, 5 heads, 17sectors /MFM
Settings for the Fujitsu are: 667 cylinders, 9 heads, 33sectors /MFM
The dip switch settings for the Seagate (as a master) are:
jumpers 4-3
jumpers 6-5
The dip switch settings for the Fujitsu is what I need.
Their are two banks of switchs, one has 4 settings, the other 6 settings.
Initially, the switches are set (for a single drive).
on x x x
off x x x x x x x
bank 1 bank 2
I have tried many different configurations but obviously I cannot "hit" the
correct settings. The best outcome I can get is power to both drives and
the seagate working correctly but no access/detection of drive D: (Fujitsu).
If anyone happens to have any information on the Fujitsu M2616et (80 meg) HD
or suggestions then please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading,
Dave Maunder. dmaunder@alsvid.scu.edu.au
