I am making my first step with a scsi setup
I have an Adaptec 2940uw and a Seagate hd.
All connected up with a 2 device 68 pin cable that has one end with a terminator and connectors for the scsi card and two devices.
Windows XP installed drivers for the card just fine.

The person I got the stuff from doesn't have the jumpers for the HD. I see on seagate's site that you have to chose a jumper for the scsi id(which I have a jumper that will fit and set it to id 1) but it says also if you are running a single drive as I am than you have to also put a jumper for terminator enabled. This jumper is tiny and I don't have one that will fit. Needless to say the scsi card and windows doesn't see the hard drive. Any ideas on how to get around this? Or am I doing something else wrong?

If the cable itself has a terminator, you do not terminate the drive.

you dont need to terminate the drive if the cable has a terminator on the end of it. make sure NEITHER drive on the cable is terminated.
