Scsi Adapters - IBM 0663 Series Manual

The drive should be verified in the mode it will be attached to the system.
It cannot be assumed that a drive which attaches as an additional SCSI device on a system
providing only additional data storage will have no problems when attached as the only/boot
drive.

SCSI ADAPTERS

The following SCSI Adapters have been operated with the 0663 drives on Typical ISA and
E15A platforms under MS-DOS and worked in these environments with no observed
problems.
ISA Bus Adapters
ADAPTEC AHA 1542BS6
INFOSYS C5630B
WESTERN DIGITAL WD7000-ASC
DATA TECHNOLOGY CORP DTC3180
DATA TECHNOLOGY CORP DTC3280A
DATA TECHNOLOGY CORP DTC3150
FUTURE DOMAIN TMC 850M
FUTURE DOMAIN TMC 860M
FUTURE DOMAIN TMC 885M
TENTIME TNT-6000
Note:
The option pin jumper on the drive must be grounded when attaching to TMCXXX M cards.
EISA Bus Adapters
ADAPTEC AHA 1740
DATA TECHNOLOGY CORP DTC3290
The Adaptec AHA1542B SCSI controller is not compatible with the 0663 drives.
Adaptec provides an upgrade kit comprising new BIOS and Microcode PROMS to allow
conversion of existing AHA1542B cards to the AHA1542BS6 version.
KNOWN INTEGRATION SOLUTIONS
The drive initiates negotiation for synchronous data transfer rate during the initialization
sequence. This may cause problems which prevent attachment to some systems/SCSI
controller cards. Jumpering the option pin to ground on the jumper block prevents the drive
from sending the synchronous negotiation message. However, other changes are also made
to the drive's behavior ref error reporting and sense information returned. These are detailed
in the Disk Drive SCSI specification.
