PlexWriter 12/4/32 Operation Manual
Do you have a SCSI ID conflict?
In this case, you simply need to deal with SCSI ID selection, as follows:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Review the discussion of SCSI ID selection in your drive’s operation manual.
3. Check the physical selection of SCSI ID on your PlexWriter drive and any other
SCSI devices connected to your interface board. Make sure that all devices are
physically set to unique IDs.
4. Your board also may not have automatic termination. If it does not have
automatic termination, you will also need to make sure the termination of your
board is set properly.
If you have both internal and external devices attached, the termination on
your SCSI interface board should be disabled. Review the interface board’s
documentation to determine how to do this.
If you have only internal devices, or only external devices, termination of
your SCSI interface board should remain enabled.
5. After the SCSI IDs and termination are set properly, restart your system.
Is your SCSI interface board being supported by Windows?
It is possible that your previously or separately purchased SCSI interface board is not
being supported properly by Windows 95/98. If you had to use the Windows 95/98
disk or CD to get support for the interface board, the driver file may not have
existed, or the operating system may have loaded an older or incompatible version of
the file.
If the file did not exist, or if Windows 95/98 couldn’t load a driver, contact the
manufacturer of the SCSI interface board for assistance in properly configuring your
SCSI configuration.
