I've been using a IBM 10K 80 pin SCSI drive with a 80-68 converter on my 2940UW for about 4 months now without any problem. This morning I tried turning on my main rig and the SCSI drive won't initialize. It powers up just fine, but it won't make those "noises" heard with initialization. It just sits there spinning with the green LED remaining lit (it's supposed to go off when the SCSI bus detects it).
I tried jumpering it for delayed start and non-auto start and so forth, but no luck. The SCSI card can see it, but when I try to "Verify Media" under the SCSI BIOS is has a command error.
The only thing I can think I did wrong was I was cleaning out the system and placed the SCSI drive with the controller side down on my carpet and moved it about a 1/2 inch just to clean a little dust off it. I do this with my IDE drives all the time. Could it be I possibly shorted a circuit or something. I know SCSI drives are more reliable than that!
Please help, I have a paper to finish and the file is on that drive 😱
