Amiga 3000 SCSI -> 68 pin?

Franchute13 · 29 April 2015, 14:50

Hello.

I have a A3000 which has 2 SCSI disks (50 pin). It is working properly.

On the other hand, I have:
an adapter 50 female / female 68.
A 68-pin SCSI cable.
2 68 pin SCSI disks.

I can connect the adapter 50/68 to the motherboard of the Amiga, then the cable 68 and then 1 or 2 discs of 68?

You must use a terminator? If so, what type of terminator?

Thank you.

Yes, you can. Connect a 68 pin terminator to the end of the chain or enable termination on the last drive.

First, thank Jope for the reply!

I can use this cable which includes terminator?
I can leave connectors unplugged?

example:
Mother A3000->adapter 50/68->Scsi cable->Hard Disk with out terminator (this model not include terminator)-> cable connector free-> cable connector free-> cable connector with scsi terminator
