Allô, I have a 2 GB+ Fujitsu SCSI disk, model M2952SYU, dated 1997, that I have "liberated" from a clumsy 9x system. Under that system and also when I used it with different Linux distrib thereafter it did not work properly. It would "tik" and then I would get a disk error message. This was a year ago, and I cant remember exactly the nature of the error messages. Something like "time-out" or "scsi reset complet" ???? I think it also went on spinning and spinning. At one point I also though it had a bugged sector. I ran no 9x so I couldn't run an antivirus. Finally, it seems to heat up quite a bit over what I fealt was reasonnable.
Now, I would like to make good use of it. I see I few pins where crushed in the center part of the disk male connector. I dont know if this was there before. Could it be the cause of all the problems? I didnt have a diagram for the 8 jumper settings and none where already there. Maybe I did not figured that out properly. Does someone have a diagram ? I am afraid that I will not succeed in installing that disk on my multi-Linux box without disrupting or, worse destroying my installed distribs. Can I connect it in the SCSI chain safely even it is not working properly to test it ? What about bugs, overheating... Thank you in advance for your comments and solutions, Alain
