Well, it had to happen one day; the RISC PC (Eesox fast SCSI 2 Card) is
failing to properly recognise its external (and only) SCSI drive. The
partitions no longer appear on the iconbar and SCSI Director seems to
think I have eight drives, each of which has the following description:
CEAGADE
CD##&&'LG

Presuming that the SCSI drive is a SEAGATE (hardly seems likely that
it can be anything else), you've lost data line 4 which is reading as
low
(hence S->C and T->D).

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to proceed; I have already
tried re-plugging the external connections.

Have you any other cables to hand? Have you left the machine switched
off for a fairly long time so that a configurable termination setting
could
have changed? (Find the appropriate *commands and try changing it if
it's wrong. Termination should be enabled only if the card is at the
end
of the cable; hence the name).
