SCSI interface card

can't communicate

with drive

1. Verify that the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer has been turned ON.

2. Make sure you are using the SCSI Cable that goes with your

interface card. Not all DB 25 Centronics 50 pin cables are the same.

Older Future Domain cards (TMC-845) use an HCA-108 Future Domain

cable. Most current Future Domain SCSI interface cards require an

Apple Signal SCSI cable; there will be an Apple sticker on the interface

card. Use either a generic Apple Signal SCSI cable, or use a Future

Domain cable # HCA-110.

For information about the correct cable to use with other SCSI cards,

contact the SCSI interface card manufacturer or dealer.

3. Power down the computer and the Pioneer Changer and check

to make sure the SCSI cables are securely attached to the

computer and to the changer.

4. When Installing the Drivers, make sure you indicate the correct

interface card you are using, so the correct driver is installed.

Check the DEVICE driver line in the CONFIG.SYS to verify that the

correct device driver has been installed:

• DRD600.SYS must be used with a Future Domain or DD-C5002

• DRD60ASP.SYS must be used with an ASPI compatible interface card

• DRD60PS.SYS must be used with an IBM SCSI interface card.

A-2

This means the device driver was

not able to locate the proper SCSI

interface card in the PC.
