Sorry if I'm repeating questions, I don't recall seeing the beginning of the<br>
thread.<br>
<p>
Is the 2920 terminated?<br>
Make sure you haven't left the ZIP terminator switched on in addition to the UMAX<br>
supplied terminator.<br>
<p>
It sounds like you are using the cable that came with the ZIP. What's the other<br>
cable you are using, I'm not familiar with the 2920 does it use a 25 pin D Sub,<br>
a 50 pin Centronics type or a 50 pin High density?<br>
<p>
Try simplifying your SCSI cabling. Does it work without the ZIP drive attached<br>
using the shortest cable and the supplied terminator?. If this passes or fails,<br>
try the longer cable. If both work or not try adding the ZIP to the end of the<br>
buss and using the internal termination in the ZIP to terminate the buss. I<br>
think the UMAX supplied terminator is passive, the one in the ZIP is active and<br>
should do a better job.<br>
<p>
I have a ZIP and UMAX 1220S as well. I would put the ZIP at the end of the buss<br>
instead of the scanner. I've tried other configurations and "seem" to remember<br>
having problems. I also "think" I had problems with the UMAX supplied cable but<br>
it's been a while and it may have been due to another device causing problems. I<br>
also tend to have alot of cabling/devices in my setup which can be problematic.<br>
You tend to get alot of discontinuities on the bus and different cabling with<br>
different impedances which can degrade the buss. Your setup doesn't sound like<br>
it should be a problem as long as the terminators are working properly which the<br>
above tests may help determine.<br>
<p>
I'm currently running 4 internal devices on a 5' ribbon and 3 external devices<br>
with about 8' of cable using an Adaptec 2940 and it's working (allways knock on<br>
wood). The scanner is the first external device on the buss, then the ZIP and<br>
finally an actively terminated hard drive is on the end of the buss.<br>
<p>
Hope that helps. Good luck<br>

<i>&gt; &gt; Hi Nathan,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; is the scsi bus terminated correct on both ends of the bus,</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; how long is the scsi bus (all scsi cables together)?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; is the driver for your scsi controller up to date?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Is disconnect reconnect disabled?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Bye</i><br>
