SCSI ID Bus

hanswutz · #1 19-07-2001, 14:16

Hi! I got following problem: I need to know the SCSI ID Bus of my drives, namely my PlexWriter 16 Atapi and a quite usual 52x CDROM Drive. This SCSI ID Bus number must be in the form of x,y,z, such as 0,0,0 or 0,1,0. I need these values for making nonselfboot games selfboot using the selfboot helper combined with the Echelon selfboot toolkit 3.4. Until burning selfboot helper aks for the SCSI ID Bus.
The tool program of my recorder says host adapter:1, scsi id: 1.
Could someone please tell how to get the SCSI ID Bus?
thx

Use the scanbus command as shown in the echelon tutorial, or if doesn't work (it just crashes my machine for some reason) and you've got cdrwin installed go into the device settings and ##### the numbers listed beside your Plexwriter, they'll be the numbers your after.

Well for the Adaptec brand of SCSI controllers, the only brand I buy, it shows all devices and their IDs upon boot up. If you have an Adaptec, press Ctrl-A while booting, to get a more indepth look at the devices.

After I installed a new hard drive (and changed some of my IDE configs), I had problems with CDRECORD -scanbus as well as CDRECORD -dev=x,x,x -msinfo locking up my machine. afterwards I found that Windows didn't even like my secondary IDE controller, and would freak anytime I had the Secondary IDE enabled (via BUSMASTERING driver in Windows).

My fix was to go to a new IDE/UDMA-66 card and all problems were solved. It even solved a long-standing problem with my DVD drive causing repeating noise in the audio channel when the drive was configured as UDMA (also on the secondary channel).

Maybe you have a bad, defective or troubled IDE channel??

I haven't noticed any other problems so i'm not really bothered to be quite honest and everything seems ok with my windows setup so i'm not gonna lose any sleep over it
