Understanding SCSI  
Understanding SCSI  
SCSI (pronounced “scuzzy”) stands for Small Computer Systems  
Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for  
connecting SCSI devices (such as hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives,  
and scanners) to a common SCSI bus.  
A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway consisting of a SCSI adapter  
(such as the SlimSCSI adapter) installed in a computer and one or  
more SCSI devices. SCSI cables are used to connect the devices to the  
SCSI card. For the SCSI bus to function properly, SCSI IDs must be  
assigned to the SCSI devices and the SCSI adapter, and the SCSI bus  
must be properly terminated.  
SCSI IDs  
Each device attached to the MiniSCSI 1350 adapter, as well as the  
adapter itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to  
6. A SCSI ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus  
and determines priority when two or more devices are trying to use  
the SCSI bus at the same time.  
The MiniSCSI 1350 adapter is preset to SCSI ID 7, which gives  
it the highest priority on the SCSI bus.  
In Windows 95, you can use the Device Manager to view the  
SCSI ID and other information about each installed SCSI  
device.

MiniSCSI 1350 User’s Guide  
Terminating the SCSI Bus  
To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, terminators must  
be installed (or enabled) on the devices at the physical ends of the  
SCSI bus. The terminators on all devices between the physical ends  
must be removed (or disabled). Termination on the MiniSCSI 1350 is  
permanently enabled, since it is always at one end of the SCSI bus.  
There are various methods for terminating disk drives and other  
SCSI devices. Read the device documentation if you are not sure  
how to do this. Here are some general guidelines for termination:  
Termination is usually controlled by installing or removing a  
SCSI terminator. On some SCSI devices, termination is  
controlled by setting a switch on the back of the device.  
Most SCSI devices come from the factory with termination  
enabled.  
Obtaining SCSI Cables  
You will need additional SCSI cables if you connect more than one  
SCSI device to your MiniSCSI 1350. It is important to use high-  
quality cables to ensure that data is read and written correctly.  
Adaptec provides high-quality SCSI cables designed specifically for  
use with the MiniSCSI 1350. (To order Adaptec SCSI cables, call  
1-800-442-7274, Monday to Friday, from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific  
Time).

Understanding SCSI  
Connector Types  
Several different types of SCSI connectors are used on SCSI devices,  
and each type requires a different kind of cable. The following  
diagrams illustrate the different kinds of SCSI connectors:  
SCSI-2 High-density 50-pin Connector  
Standard MiniSCSI 1350 Connector for SCSI Perirpherals  
Typically used with high-performance CD-ROM drives, hard disk drives, Jaz drives, and Plug  
and Play devices.  
If you have a SCSI device with a DB25 pin or low density 50-pin  
(SCSI-2) connection, you can order converters from Adaptec's web  
site.  
DB25 Connector  
Used with Iomega ZIP drives, Syquest EZFlyer, etc.  
SCSI-1, Low-density Centronics 50-pin Connector  
Used with many CD-ROM drives, hard disk drives, SCSI tape drives, and scanners

Troubleshooting  
Most problems with the MiniSCSI 1350 result from errors in  
preparing and connecting the SCSI devices to it. So, if you have  
problems, check the General Hardware Troubleshooting tips first. If the  
problem still remains, refer to one or more of these sections:  
Formatting your Hard Disk Drives  
in DOS or Windows 95..................................page 13  
General Hardware Troubleshooting  
Be sure all connectors are firmly connected  
Be sure all SCSI cables and power cables are properly  
connected and all SCSI devices are powered  
Be sure last SCSI device (or only) is terminated  
Be sure at least one SCSI device connected to the  
MiniSCSI 1350 supplies termination power to the SCSI bus.  
Otherwise, the SCSI devices will not work correctly.  
Note: Some devices have a switch to enable or disable  
termination power. See the device documentation for  
more information.

Troubleshooting  
WINDOWS 95 Troubleshooting  
I can read from my CD-R or CD-RW but Easy CD Pro doesnt  
recognize the drive, therefore Im unable to write to the CD?  
Please check the revision of Easy CD Pro. Adaptec has fixed  
problems in their latest revision (2.11C). This is found on their  
website:  
http:/ / www.adaptec.com/ support/ files/ upgrades.html  
The file you need is Easy2up.exe, and is found under the  
section CD recordable software upgrades PC.  
In the Device Manager under SCSI controllers the MiniSCSI  
1350 controller is recognized but the CD drive isnt listed  
under CD-ROM.  
Please check that you are using the very latest installer from  
Adaptec. Also, check the SCSI ID of the CD ROM, make sure it  
is not ID 7, 1 or 0.  
Can I use FDISK to prepare my hard disk?  
In order to partition a hard disk drive with the FDISK  
command, Int 13h support has to be enabled. For instructions  
My EPST connection is running in Nibble mode, what  
should I do?  
At present EPST doesnt support the parallel mode ECP  
properly. If you change the port mode to EPP you will find a  
performance increase.

MiniSCSI 1350 User’s Guide  
Improving Overall Performance  
Following are some tips on improving the performance of the  
MiniSCSI 1350:  
Ensure that the CMOS setting configuration for the parallel  
port and the setting in the Device Manager are the same.  
Ensure that there are no Port Base and IRQ clashes with other  
installed devices such as Sound Cards.  
If the parallel port supports EPP, ensure that the parallel port  
mode in the system CMOS is set for EPP.  
To step up the system performance, in the Control Panel, select  
System, select the Performance tab, click on File System, ensure  
that the Performance is set to Full.  
Select the Trouble Shooting tab and ensure that the Write  
Behind Cache is enabled. These are usually the default  
settings.  
The MiniSCSI 1350s are programmed to give maximum  
performance for the following parallel port Port Base and IRQ  
combinations: 378h and 3BCh and IRQ 7 Port Base and IRQ  
combinations other than these are likely to slow down the  
performance.  
Ensure that the total cable length does not exceed 3 meters and  
that no more than 7 devices are attached. For optimum  
performance we recommend attaching only 4 devices.

Troubleshooting  
Formatting your hard disk drives in Windows 95  
If a hard disk drive is used that has not been formatted for Windows  
95 systems, you will need to prepare the Disk for its first use with  
the FDISK and FORMAT commands in the DOS directory of your  
system disk. Before you can use these commands you must enable  
Int 13 support for the drive.  
Follow these steps to enable Int 13 support:  
1

8
Click on the Settings tab.  
Click on the Int 13 Unit field in the Options section.  
Reboot for the change to take effect.  
Once you have completed initialization of the disk, you can repeat  
the above procedure to disable the Int 13 support of your Disk. This  
may improve performance.
