mpc freezes when i try to use scsi port

[anthony m]

Ive had my mpc for a couple of weeks, and i love it. but i cant get it to read the scsi port, every time i switch the option from floppy to scsi
(in the format screen) it says wait............
and thats when it freezes.

Is this because of the zip drive, or the scsi port?


thanks

I have a zip drive with a scsi port but never experienced any problems like that.....I would download the latest OS and load from it.....

i have the most recent OS. 1.7.2 ??
i think my scsi port is just f'kd......

thanks though

I think you have to make sure that the cables are connected properly plus the terminator is set. (since you can chain numerous devices together) you have to put the terminator to designate where the end of the chain is.
