Host is a HP 9000/382 Copied the orig drive using a linux box, adaptec 2940N and good old dd
Then swapped drives, a unused 9 GB 80 pin with a Chinese 80 to 50 adapter. Did have to issue a spin up command and then copied the data to this drive again with dd. Powered all off, added a motor start jumper to the adapter and put it on the 9000/382. Motor will not start, added a jumper right on the drive, no spin. so .. any ideas what I'm doing wrong, or just try a different drive ? -pete
