What the heck man ?

Do you have any proof that the Force SE jumper is required for connecting to a UW controller ?
I'm fairly certain the drive can detect and adapt itself automatically to that situation.
Do you have any proof that it isnt?
You say that you have to put a jumper on it and I ask for proof or a reference that you have to do that.
The burden of proof isn't on me. It's on you.
the 2940UW controller and the cable she has wont be LVD. Correct?
So they will be SE. Correct?
I don't know. As far as I know she hasn't posted a photo of the cable or any further information thereof. Do you know ?
And the drive is Ultra160, and is LVD, and has a jumper to force SE.
It might be able to sense SE and work, or it might not... If you force SE it will work, it you dont it should work.
It would be technically the correct way to do that wouldnt it. Which is what you like.
It should sense it.
Your not very good at it but it is what you strive for.
What ?
Why would it matter what the cable looks like?
The drive is native LVD because its Ultra160. The 2940UW simply isnt capable of LVD.
The drive might auto negotiate the bus and switch to SE mode or it might not. If you set the jumper it will run in SE mode.
It really is that simple.
That would be technically the correct thing to do wouldnt it?
By the looks of it she might have an LVD cable, and an LVD drive with an LVD drive caddy, but the controller isnt LVD so do you think it will run in LVD mode?

I know the Force SE jumper is there, so I was just going to try things without that and then add it on if that doesn't work. Seems like a pretty simple concept to me xP
And alright alright, here's the cable I have to put that to rest lmao. It is long, but it doesn't seem even close to the three meter maximum of SE SCSI.
Seems like a good thing to try. It should negotiate to SE mode, the Force SE jumper is there to do just that, it forces it so it wont try LVD mode thats all.
All setting that jumper does is the drive wont even waste its time trying LVD mode, it will just use SE...
