Posted February 9, 2021 5 minutes ago, Kanna said: So what is an SCSI drive? SCSI was like IDE, but faster and had external variants. I've got a similar drive to #2, except it's a bit different (IBM 45G9567 or something like that). It's got the same 50-pin connector, same copper band, and it's 1GB. If it works, it's worth $200. #2 is also SCSI, but uses a different connector. I don't know what the band is for. elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a computer with PCI slots I can send you a link to test them (you'll need cables though). I would offer to test them for you but (unless your location is false) I don't think I'll be going to Sweden anytime soon. elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I might skip testing them since they most likely won’t work since I got a bog of drives I got and it had been in a garage Reminder I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100% Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the drive spins up either, though it will draw power. elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drives can't communicate across only Molex. elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 9, 2021 Just now, Kanna said: I know but I’m talking IDE drive now (sorry for confusing you Ah. Ok. As long as you have an IDE controller connected to your computer and the drives, and the jumpers are set, you're good. To set jumpers: There should be a group of 6 or 10 pins by themselves, with 2 labeled CS or Cable Select, 2 labeled MS or Master, and 2 labeled SL, or Slave. If you only have 1 drive, short the 2 Master pins with a little jumper. If you have 2 drives, set 1 to master and 1 to slave. elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have 2 IDE controllers, though, you can put one drive on its own controller. elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
