Funny that, coming from you who obviously has never been to the SCSI group.
That is supposing you can read, which your other post shows you incapable of.
 
Interesting word choice in his case.


By dismantling it.

Nope, just lift the cable slightly. That's what "peek" means. If I had
wanted you to dismantle it, I would have said so.
Nope, not if you connect it to the end connector.

The point I was making was that a drive at the end of such a cable
would identify itself as the slave, if it was jumpered for CS mode.

No, you still haven't made any point.
was that a drive at the end of such a cable would identify itself as the slave,
if it was jumpered for CS mode.

So, what IS your point?
All you have done is making observations that apparently would have to do with
the point you are trying to make but still haven't made it. Let's hear your point.

So because I don't post in a SCSI group that means I know nothing about
it? Don't you suppose that in the past 14 years or so I've been
building PCs and installing/setting up servers I may just have come
across them once or twice? Hell the first CD writer I ever saw was
SCSI.

Clueless, totally missed the point, in several respects.
Explain. When using Cable Select on IDE you have to have the drive on a
specific connector in order to have it set up as master.

Do you really have a clue?

Strangely on my cable the end one is the master.

They made it idiot proof now. Blue goes to mobo, black is for master
and grey is for slave.
 
Howdy!

Conor said:
Err..not when using Cable select you can't.

When using a normal cable, you can't use Cable Select anyway ...

Or is your definition of "normal" a bit different from everyone
else's?

Not quite - I've seen idiots swap them end for end.

But that's not the first cable select cable design - Compaq, back in
the bad old days, used to use (at first go!) the middle connector as master
(since it was wired to the motherboard), then they'd lift the cable select
wire (28, IIRC) so that the END connector was slave.

Didn't believe that until I saw such a cable. Hopefully, there
weren't but about a dozen or so make ... sigh.

No, really ??? Wow !

Reading sure isn't one of your strong points, is it!
Or maybe you have very short memory:
read one sentence, read another and - boom!, gone is the first.
They made it idiot proof now.

Obviously they must have had the likes of you in mind when they designed it like that.

1. He said 'normal' cable.
2. He said "cut a wire".

How much indication do you need that obviously (in his mind) he wasn't
talking about Cable Select cables?

3. Which was quite strange given the remark that he was commenting upon.
Anyone who answers to such a post as if it made perfect sense is clueless.
Do you really have a clue?

Yes, do you?

Hey, you said that, not me, but you won't hear me disagree.
Try to read and apprehend, oh mighty clueless one.

them once or twice? Hell the first CD writer I ever saw was SCSI.

All that but still can't read or apprehend.

If you had ever been to the SCSI group you would have known that I am one
of THE experts in the SCSI group and you wouldn't have made that stupid
"You obviously know nothing about SCSI" statement that you now snipped.

I've not snipped anything in order to hide it. I've snipped irrelevent
quoted text as required by good usenet posting. You might want to try
it. It saves you quoting several messages and a hundred lines of text
just to add a sentence.

It was a stupid, dishonest snip. You saved a whopping one sentence,
where you accuse Folkert of knowing nothing about SCSI. Then you
pretend like his response to your accusation was a claim that YOU know
nothing about SCSI, when the issue at hand, obviously, was Folkert's
knowledge level. Are you logically handicapped, or simply dishonest?

No, just fukcing tired after working 15 hour days. You do know what
work is?

It must be nice to be "expert" enough to pat yourself on the back. What an
unfulfilled husk of a human being.

There's no reason to justify yourself to that path little person who's sole
purpose is to bitch about other people's choice of browsers.
