Someone please tell me if this scsi setup is correct.

I bought a Seagate 50.1 gb Ultra 2 80pin SCA LVD HD. I then purchased a 68-80pin LVD converter since they dont make 80pin cards apparently. The card I am using is a Adaptec 2940u2b (Compugeeks says its LVD compatible). The cable i bought is actually for Ultra wide scsi 2 LVD (68pin) and comes w/ a terminator at the end. Is there anything else I need ? Will all this function correctly? Also, do i set the SCSI ID as 0? It will be the only device on the chain
 
your setup sounds correct. are you sure you don't have a Adaptec AHA-2940U2W? the scsi cable should be ok. u160 or ultra2 wide lvd (68pin) might be better but i'm sure the ultra wide cable will handle a single hd fine.
 
my bad, it is an ultra wide 2 cable. It is an adaptec 2640u2b. The b stands for bare i assume in that it only has 1 68pin internal and 1 68 pin external. I got it from compugeeks
 
ER...it is an ultra wide 2 card as well 🙂 Will everything function? For some reason Compugeeks was marking the model as a u2b when the description says its a ultra wide 2 card.
 
Sound right to me. After you get it setup benchmark it with hd tach, you should get 60-70 mb read burst speed on that drive with that setup.

Still wish I had got in on that deal
