problem with flash drive for 2k classic

By pr #1 Fri Apr 10, 2009 8:57 pm
Hey guy's can you help me please? I just got a flash drive for my 2k classic and I am trying to save my floppy files on the flash drive and it says scsi write error. What am I doing wrong do i need to put the os system on the flash card,or do I need to use a diffrent cable without an adapter? Does anyone else use a spyrus flash drive? Thanks.

the last "drive" on the scsi chain needs to be terminated, so if its the only drive youve got that will need to be terminated.

If thers no switches on it (ie internal termination) you'll need one of these

The guy that I brought the drive from said try a different cable, but if that was the case why would he send me a cable that wouldn't work with drive that he sold me? Thank you guy's for the response and help.

doubt it, those zips without switches arent scsi afaik, i think they are ment for parallel ports. BUt if they were scsi then yes.
