Hi,

The system:
Alpha 200 4/166 with 1GB internal DEC drive
external DSP5300S 3GB DEC drive

The problem:
System fails to find any scsi disk, green disk light stays ON and
internal boot disk fails to boot when the DSP5300S drive attached
to scsi bus.

I've tried:
1. attaching a different drive (Seagate) using EXACTLY same cables
   the only difference was the drive itself, and voila, the boot
   disk boots fine, grren disk light is OFF
2. attaching the DSP5300S drive, with all jumpers ON and OFF, terminator
   ON or OFF ... DOES NOT WORK.

DEC has no solution so far!! Please can anyone help? Any info is better
than no info. Thanks in advance.
