SCSI Kurzweil K2500 Problem

[keys76]

Hi there,

Last saturday, my friend Nolan and I built-in a Harddisk inside my K2500.
HD works perfectly, no problems.

But when I connect my JAZ drive to the K2500 and I want to copy some files from JAZ to HD the system hangs.

Anyone knows what to do?

I had a harddrive that worked with just my workstation but locked up everything if I connected other scsi devices. (My solution was to return the harddrive and find another)

What scsi ID# is your int. hd?
Is it terminated?
Try changing the tinny termination on/off switch on the back of the K2500

Do you have the Jazz drive terminated?

HD is terminated, JAZ drive is terminated.
The strangest thing happened.

Yesterday I connected my JAZ drive to my K2500 and I could copy a 79MB file from my JAZ to my HD.
After that I tried to load that file from my HD and the K2500 freezed again.. I tried about 10 times and it worked 0 times.. :?

Any suggestions? Could it be some jumper on the motherboard?

I've not used SCSI stuff much myself, but I'd have thought that you'd only want to have one of either your HD or your Jaz drive terminated, unless the K2500 has two separate SCSI channels...

Your chain is the following: (terminated) JAZ - K2500 - (terminated) HD

If you have built it in correctly the termination-switch at the back of the K2500 should have no effect, because hte K2500 is always terminated now because of the HD. It's just important to terminate the JAZ-drive and make sure that all devices have different IDs (also look up your K2500s ID).

Have to tried to use the SCSI thru instead of the normal port? Shouldn't work, but who knows... :roll:

Make sure the Jazz scsi id is set to 5 (not 6, that's used by the K2500)

Don't use long scsi cables or cheap scsi cables
