I used to have the occasional problem with slaving my old Conner CFS210A
to my Samsung PLS-31274A 1.27 Gb drive thru' a Promise 2300 EIDE
controller. These would manifest themselves as an occasional failure to
boot.
However, I've now upgraded the processor (someone was getting shot of a
cheap DX2-50) and it will not boot *at all* with the Conner connected.
I've even tried connecting the Conner to the secondary IDE port on the
board, and even the tertiary IDE port on my SB16 card. I removed the
master/slave jumpers on the Conner when I originally slaved it (two of
'em) and now I've forgotten where they went :-(
The sticker on the top of the drive doesn't offer much insight. So, does
anyone have any of the following:
1) Any experience of configuring (does it need configuring) the secondary
IDE port on a Promise EIDE 2300
2) A 210 meg Conner configured as a master drive, in which case can you
tell me which jumpers are connected?
Cheers.
