Hi all,
 
I would like to ask for your help once more ...

I have a spare harddisk from one of our suns that I would
like to add externally to my Dec 3000/600. It's an IBM 0663-E12
and I already have 2 harddisks and 1 cdrom on SCSI. Now
when I connect the new harddisk and reboot it looks like
the harddisk is being recognized:

----- EVENT INFORMATION -----

But next I don't get anything but SCSI-Errors:

----- EVENT INFORMATION -----

EVENT CLASS ERROR EVENT

SUBSYSTEM x0000 DISK

                              x0050 LUN x0
                                        TARGET x2

There are two things I am not sure about:
- shall I set terminator power on or off?
- do I need to use an active terminator?

But next to that there might be other things I should do
that I am not aware of, and I do have to admit I am not
very well into the hardware stuff. So if anybody of you
can give me a hint or two, that would be very helpfull.

Thanks, Annette
