And once again...

I was lucky in getting myself a "regular" NeXTstation in mint condition, 8 MB RAM and the original (!) Seagate ST 1480 harddisk with 403 MB capacity. Due to installation problems on other drives I searched the net on informations about the possible jumper settings on this drive. Sad to say Seagate does not provide any downloadable document to this and all my brwosers just show unreadable rubbish when using the only available site:

http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/scsi/st1480n.html

Does anybody in here have graphical information about jumper settings on this drive?

I suppose my drive wasn't changed in any way so I'm guessing that this one is set to SCSI ID "1". Can anybody confirm this ID from factory state?

Thank You!

Without the right font, the older text based docs on seagate.com are a little hard to read.  Copy the text and paste it into a text document in notepad ( if on windows), and try changing the fonts to terminal or system to see if that helps.  I think seagate has a special font for IE that you can download in order to get this to display correctly.

Just my "bad luck" that I seem to run into these fun little "challenges" when trying to work with the vintage stuff.  One of these days I will get lucky and stuff will "just work" like it is supposed to.  

On second thought, that would be kind of boring.  Whats the fun in life without a few challenges to keep the thinking sharp.
