Say I have a wide 68pin controller card connected to the LVD or ultra160 or ultra320 drives? I know about the proper adapters in between on each drive.
Just wanted to know for sure this was from one of the thread's post that talked about cross compatibility between controller card and drives.
Cheers,
LVD and SE devices (cards and disks) of various speed ratings will talk to each other . Use passive adapters if necessary and terminate appropriately . The max speed on a given SCSI chain will be the highest speed supported by all devices .
HVD disks and controllers will only play nice among themselves,unless using special activeadapters/converters to allow communication with LVD or SE . Without such adapters/converters, something will fry if HVD and LVD/SE are connected together .
